Jerusalem: An Elegy in Three Parts

By Patrick Neate

'He looks like a Brit this guy. Full of good intentions and bad ideas.'

Straddling two continents and two centuries Patrick Neate's Jerusalem is a sweeping and hilarious epic of English misadventures abroad and at home. It features a self-serving MP lost and alone in an African dictatorship; a young ultra-hip entrepreneur looking for something (or someone) new to exploit and an English veteran of a colonial war trying to save England from itself. With a host of other brilliant and brilliantly drawn characters this is the funniest and most moving story of Englishness as it never was isn't now and hopefully will never be.
