Author's fifth novel. In April 2017 the Observer opined that "Speak for England foreshadowed Farage, May and Brexit with such unnerving accuracy it deserves some kind of prescience prize." Deep in the jungle, a reality TV contestant stumbles upon a miniature civilisation of plane crash survivors preserving a rose-tinted, pre-Sixties pocket of England alive in the wilderness. A rollicking satire about the old, the new and the English. "Completely barmy, and rather dementedly appealing." –Tim Lott, Evening Standard
