Description
Benjamin Trotter and his friends have grown up, and life has become a whirlwind of jobs, marriages, and self-inflicted angst. As the millennium approaches, youthful hopes and dreams seem betrayed by the optimism of the time. The Closed Circle depicts a group of former school friends as older, wiser, and disillusioned in a Britain on the cusp of change.
Jonathan Coe's novel explores the complex relationships between past and present, revealing that the present can never truly be disentangled from the past. With his signature wit, Coe delivers a thought-provoking and humorous portrayal of Britain at the turn of the century.
