Jonathan Coe
The Closed Circle
On millennium night, 31 December 1999, with Tony Blair presiding over a superficially cool, sexed-up new version of the country, Benjamin Trotter finds himself watching the celebrations on his parents' TV in the same Birmingham house in which he grew up. Watching, in fact, his younger brother, Paul, now a bright young New Labour MP who has bought wholeheartedly into the Blairite dream. Neither of them can know that their lives are about to implode.
'The darkly comic and compulsively readable follow-up to The Rotters' Club. All of Coe 's novels are brilliant, funny, apposite, informed and unflaggingly truth-seeking' - Evening Standard

Winners & Losers
At thirteen Megan Williams had been sent from her family's farm to keep house for her widower uncle and his five children. But when her uncle can no longer pay her wages, she is forced to seek work elsewhere. It is 1910 now and Tonypandy is a town of poverty, hardship, strife and soup kitchens garrisoned by troops brought in to control the striking miners, whose anger all too frequently erupts into bouts of violence and rioting. The only people who are hiring are the houses where the police and soldiers lodge. And Megan has no choice but to accept work at one of them.
' The second in this powerful early twentieth century series of coal mining novels set in Pontypridd and the Rhondda. A lively romantic sequel. Four stars'- Woman's Own
