Summary
Twenty-two-year-old Oscar is a lost cause. He roams central London, looking for love and distraction. But this isn't quite Bright Lights, Big City: Oscar is gay but feels disconnected from London's gay scene. He is naive and rootless, an emotionally stunted young man who lives in upscale Kensington with his foster mother, novelist Charlotte Fontaine. But all of this changes when he meets Tim, Charlotte's 3--something literary agent with whom Oscar becomes hopelessly infatuated. While he struggles to understand Tim's politics and his rejection of religion, Oscar's developing friendship with Tim affects a profound change in the young man, making him want to understand the world and his place in it.
Disbanded Kingdom is a brilliantly written 21st-century coming-of-age story, set against the emotive backdrop of the United Kingdom's breakaway from the European Union and its threatened rupture with Scotland.

Beautifully Written and Beautifully Read
Now that I’ve finished listening to this book I actually miss having Oscar, Tim, Bella and Charlotte in my life. This book utterly captures London and the Brexit atmosphere. I will definitely be buying the physical book once it’s published in June... about 10 copies so I can pass them on to all and sundry.

Best audiobook I've heard in a very long time.
Billiant, immaculate prose. A Catcher in the Rye for the 21st Century. Best audiobook I've heard in a very long time. Grabbed and held my attention for the better part of an entire day.
