“Shows us what we are in danger of becoming” – The Wall by John Lanchester

"Despite being called The Wall, however, much of the book takes place elsewhere - there is a trip to the Lake District with fellow Defenders, there is a trip to see his girlfriend's relative and, eventually, without giving too much away, there is a portion of the book spent away from the Wall entirely. This latter part of the book seems superficially to jettison the kind of satirical edge that is established in the opening (where we seem to be looking at the kind of genuine future Brexit may promise) in favour of the kind of Boy's Own adventure seen in, say, Andrew Motion's Treasure Island sequels, Silver and The New World."
