Another England

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A visionary book' Philip Pullman 'Essential and magnificent' George Monbiot 'Deft and wonderfully poetic' Grace Blakeley The Right have hijacked Englishness. Can it be reclaimed? Today, the only people who dare speak of Englishness are cheerleaders for Brexit, exceptionalism and imperial nostalgia. But there is another England, hiding in plain sight, which is dramatically more inclusive and forward looking.

'Not just an inspiring, nuanced and deeply literate book, but that rarest of things – a necessary one.' Jonathan Coe, author of Bourneville
