Strangeland
How Britain Stopped Making Sense
(Author) Jon SopelAt the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK - and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In Strangeland, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he' s come home to? In the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours. Strangeland is Jon' s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn' t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting - either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it' s both. A trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, Strangeland is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.
