48 reviewsA tender & wickedly funny portrait of England told through four generations of one family.
Bournville is a quiet village in the heart of England famous for its chocolate. For eleven-year-old Mary, it is the center of her world, the place where most of her family's friends & neighbors have worked for decades & where the streets smell faintly of chocolate.
During the next three-quarters of a century, Mary will have children & grandchildren & great-children. She will live through the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II & the 1966 World Cup final (the last time England won), royal weddings & royal funerals, Brexit & Covid-19. Parts of the chocolate factory will be transformed into a theme park, & Bournville itself will gradually disappear into the sprawl of the growing city of Birmingham.
As we travel through seventy-five years of social change, from James Bond to Princess Diana, & from wartime nostalgia to the World Wide Web, one pressing question starts to emerge: will these changing times bring family—and their country—closer together, or leave them more adrift & divided than ever before?
Bournville is a rich & poignant new novel from the bestselling, Costa award-winning author of Middle England. It is the story of a woman, of a nation's love affair with chocolate, of Britain itself.
