These Wild English: A family, a class, a country on fire
Overview
I'm England till I die. I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm England till I die!
Mum's marching through towns yelling slogans with the EDL. Billy's in prison for armed robbery. Nicola's left with a holdall of family photos, trying to work out who are we? and how did we get here?
This is the story of one family finding their way through the chaos and crises of modern Britain. From the working farms of Cumbria to the windswept shores of Kent, Nicola Wilding follows three generations of her family through moments of love, pride, rage and riot as they struggle against dispossession and marginalisation. Written with tenderness, candour and an eye for beauty amid the mess, this is an unforgettable portrait of a fractured community, class and country searching for meaning and belonging.
