Jonathan Coe: The Proof of My Innocence

The latest addition to my website is Jonathan Coe‘s The Proof of My Innocence.A blogger investigating right-wing plotting attends a right-wing conference the week LizTruss is appointed British Prime Minister and is brutally murdered at the conference. His adopted daughter and the daughter of one of his friends investigate and uncover dirty right-wing dealings, a neglected right-wing novelist, a bankrupt aristocrat and various cultural divides(age, gender, political) while Coe gives us both an excellent and often complex story as well as another first-class political novel and a humorous satire on modern Britain.
