Description
A Bad Decade for Good People by Joe Bedford is a thought-provoking novel about family, identity and the search for meaning in uncertain times. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, the story follows Laurie and her brother George as they navigate their relationships and try to find a way forward. As the UK's political landscape becomes increasingly divided, Laurie's activism and sense of purpose are put to the test by the arrival of Antonio, an enigmatic migrant who challenges everything she thought she knew. Meanwhile, George is forced to confront his own desires and loyalties in the face of growing uncertainty. This powerful and deeply personal novel asks a simple yet profound question: how do we hold on to those we love when it feels like the world around us is falling apart?
