: :
: Imagine an England where all the pubs are quaint, where the Windsors behave:
: themselves (mostly), where the cliffs of Dover are actually white, and :
: where Robin Hood and his merry men really are merry. This is precisely what:
: visionary tycoon, Sir Jack Pitman, seeks to accomplish on the Isle of :
: Wight, a destination where tourists can find replicas of Big Ben (half :
: size), Princess Dis grave, and even Harrods (conveniently located inside :
: the tower of London). :
: :
: Martha Cochrane, hired as one of Sir Jacks resident no-people, ably :
: assists him in realizing his dream. But when this land of make-believe :
: gradually gets horribly and hilariously out of hand, Martha develops her :
: own vision of the perfect England. Julian Barnes delights us with a novel :
: that is at once a philosophical inquiry, a burst of mischief, and a moving :
: elegy about authenticity and nationality. :
