Sopel

Just finished 'If only they didn't speak English' by Jon Sopel. I have a signed copy, although amusingly mine was picked up second-hand and was dedicated to someone called John ("To John (good name!), Best wishes, Jon"). The book was written in 2017, in the aftermath of the Trump election victory, and so could be thought of as a little out of date, and in danger of getting lost in the sea of books that have come out during the Trump presidency, variously decrying and despairing at the disaster he has been. However, it was an excellent read (chapter on race particularly thought-provoking in light of recent events), and I may have to pick up his next one, A Year at the Circus (either look out for another second-hand hardback, should bookshop browsing ever be a thing again, or wait for the paperback to come out).
