England, England

In a whimsical reimagining of England, visionary tycoon Sir Jack Pitman attempts to create a fantastical destination on the Isle of Wight, complete with half-sized landmarks and cheerful renditions of folklore. As he enlists Martha Cochrane, one of his "no-people," to help realize this dream, their endeavor spirals into chaos, prompting Martha to envision her own version of the ideal England. Julian Barnes delivers a thought-provoking tale that blends mischief with poignant reflections on authenticity and national identity.
