Jonathan Coe Collection 3 Books Set (Middle England, The Closed Circle, The Rotters' Club)

Jonathan Coe\'s widely acclaimed novel is set in the 1970s against a distant backdrop of strikes, terrorist attacks and growing racial tension. A group of young friends inherit the editorship of their school magazine and begin to put their own distinctive spin onto events in the wider world. A zestful comedy of personal and social upheaval, The Rotters\' Club captures a fateful moment in British politics - the collapse of \'Old Labour\' - and imagines its impact on the topsy-turvy world of the bemused teenager: a world in which a lost pair of swimming trunks can be just as devastating as an IRA bomb.
