Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction. As every student knows, you can fit the whole of England on the Isle of Wight. The comedian and visionary magnate Sir Jack Pitman takes this saying literally and brings it to fruition. He creates 'The Project' on the island, a huge heritage center that includes everything 'English', from Big Ben to Stonehenge, from Manchester United to the white cliffs of Dover. The project is gigantic, risky, and incredibly successful. In fact, it gradually begins to rival 'Old' England and even threatens to surpass it...
