"Look, do me a favour, will you? Just fuck off and die!"(c) Jonathan Coe

WHAT A CARVE UP!

In this, Jonathan Coe's fourth and overwhelmingly most successful novel, Michael Owen is the hapless biographer of the Winshaw family, a gallery of monsters whose greed and unscrupulousness have enabled them to profit from, and indeed to have made possible, the Thatcherite climate of 1980s Britain . As we move from formative episodes of Michael's life to his account of the Winshaws' rise to positions of power and influence, we discover, along with him, that the family has determined the course of his life in unimaginably far-reaching ways.
