About the book
I’m England till I die. I know I am, I’m sure I am, I’m England till I die!
Mum’s marching through towns yelling slogans with the EDL. Billy’s in prison for armed robbery. And Nicola’s left holding the family photos, asking: how did we get here?
These Wild English follows three generations of a working-class family as they struggle with the forces reshaping modern Britain. Nicola’s mum grew up on a Cumbrian farm. As an adult, she navigates low-paid work and stormy marriages against a constant hum of economic decline. As she begins looking for a new source of belonging, the appeal of the far right will have consequences that stretch far beyond her family.
From the working farms of Cumbria to the windswept shores of Kent, this is a rare and tender reckoning with the love, rage, pride and loss of a community and a country that will change how you see the divisions of our age.
