I was impressed by its vast canvas and portrayal of individual psychic damage set against seismic historical change. Also asking how we got here is Bournville by Jonathan Coe Viking. This one-of-a-kind book channels a spirit of righteous anger as well as lyrical freedom and joy. Based around a dangerous affair between a young Catholic woman and an older Protestant man, it combines gorgeously direct and acute prose with an incisive eye for social detail. It was a good year for unhappy families.
