Description

This panoramic history of modern Britain tells the story of one extraordinary family and their groundbreaking company that revolutionised the way we eat, drink and are entertained. From penniless immigrants to building a business empire, the Lyons family's journey is both intimate and grand.

For over a century, Lyons was everywhere - its restaurants and corner houses on every high street, its coffee and tea in every cup, its products in every home. But it was a victory that was not easily won, marked by tragedy and unimaginable success.

Written with love and imagination, this book is a masterclass in historical empathy, offering an illuminating new exploration of Britain and its place in the world. A fascinating social history that will keep you engaged until the end.
