Publisher's Synopsis

This is a novel about the hundreds of tiny connections between the public and private worlds and how they affect us all.


It's about the legacy of war and the end of innocence.


It's about how comedy and politics are battling it out and comedy might have won.


It's about how 140 characters can make fools of us all.


It's about living in a city where bankers need cinemas in their basements and others need food banks down the street.


It is Jonathan Coe doing what he does best -- showing us how we live now.


'Coe is among the handful of novelists who can tell us something about the temper of our times' Observer

Written with his signature wit, Jonathan Coe's unmissable new novel, The Proof of My Innocence, is available to order now!

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
