Beschreibung

<p><b>'My comfort read: anything by Jonathan Coe' Bob Mortimer<br><br>'Coe channels his anger and frustration at the direction his country has taken, as well as his abiding love for it, into prose of enduring beauty' <i>Guardian</i><br><br>---</b><br><br>Post-university life doesn't suit Phyl. Time passes slowly, living with her parents and working a zero-hours contract at Heathrow Airport, while her budding plans of becoming a writer are going nowhere.<br><br>That is, until family friend Chris comes to stay. He's been investigating a radical think tank, founded at Cambridge University in the 1980s, that's been scheming to push the British government in an ever more extreme direction. When he follows this story to a conference in a rambling old hotel deep in the Cotswolds, events take a bizarre and sinister turn. Soon he is caught up in a world of cryptic clues, secret passages and, eventually, murder.<br><br>In the end, despite the efforts of a suitably eccentric detective, it falls to Phyl herself - ably assisted by Chris's outspoken adopted daughter Rashida - to look for answers to the fatal mystery. But will they lie in contemporary politics, or in a literary enigma that is almost forty years old?<br><br><b>---</b><br><br><b>'A new Jonathan Coe is always a treat . . . Coe is a master at exploring the pains of modern life' Rosamund Urwin, <i>The Times</i><br><br>'Please, God ... if there's a next life, let me write as well as Jonathan Coe' Anthony Bourdain</b><br><br><b>'Probably the best English novelist of his generation' Nick Hornby<br><br>'Deeply pleasurable, and a lot of fun. You emerge from it glowing'<i> iPaper</i><br><br>Written with his signature wit and warmth, Jonathan Coe's unmissable new novel, LESSONS IN HARMONY is available for pre-order now! </b></p>
