Publisher's Summary

What would happen if a tycoon decided to turn England into a theme park? Before anyone could say "Windsor Castle," replicas of all of the kingdom's great landmarks - from the Tower of London and Westminister Abbey to the National Gallery and everything in between - all turn up in one place. And what if credit-worthy tourists could escape to this island that permits vast expense accounts and prohibits paparazzi?

What the critics say

  • Booker Prize Finalist
"A treasure chest of wordplays, ironic imagery and gemlike phrasing that's sure to amuse." ( The Wall Street Journal)
"A brilliant, Swiftian fantasy: a virtual England." ( The Economist)
"...an uproarious farce that mocks both our postmodernist suspicion of the authentic and our Disney-like willingness to turn that embrace of the ersatz into a money-making machine." ( The New York Times)

Disappointing narrators

I enjoy Julian Barnes works immensely, however I found the narration loud, screeching and not an easy listen. I gave up listening after only a short while. Will read the book instead

Great book, but just read it!

Narrator seems to be a very talented voice actress, but the quality of the audio is atrocious
