Book Synopsis

An original and profound portrait of contemporary Britain told through the testimonies of its inhabitants.

''A spectacularly enjoyable and compelling reading experience . . . funny, moving, surprising and thought-provoking. It humanises literature in this toxic moment.''
MAX PORTER, author of Lanny

''Seemingly simple yet so deeply profound, The Passengers is an absorbing insight into the lives and minds of so-called ordinary people: their hopes and fears and idiosyncrasies at a specific moment in time.''
CLIO BARNARD, director of Ali & Ava and The Essex Serpent

''A nation's psyche comes to the surface. The Passengers is not just an oral history of the contemporary moment but, drenched in mood and texture, renders the country itself as a sonic collage.''
SUKHDEV SANDHU, GUARDIAN
