Author: Caroline Lucas. Review by Martina Weitsch

The starting point for this book is its author’s profound sadness at the outcome of the Brexit referendum. Caroline Lucas, of the Green Party, makes a timely attempt to deal with that shocking political decision, in a way that allows those she refers to as ‘progressives’ to move forward. A quote, early on in the book, makes her feelings clear. ‘People have voted the way they did… partly because they were feeling so angry and alienated, and the divisions in this country run so deep.’
