What happens when a government decides to attack trade unions and make workers into the enemy? Whether it's the 1980s or the 2020s the impacts are similar. Read Jonathan Trigell's latest novel Under Country set across decades in a Britain still suffering the effects Thatcherism

This was a little jewel of a book. Read it in two nights and cried like a baby in parts. Utterly brilliant.
