A brilliant, moving and brutally funny portrait of contemporary Britain told through four generations of a Birmingham family. Built by the Cadburys for their workers in the 19th century, the suburb of Bournville is home to a famous chocolate factory. Mary, aged eleven in 1945, and her family regard the factory as the centre of the world. Mary will witness the end of World War II, the coronation of Elizabeth II, the World Cup final, Brexit and Covid-19. The story of four generations reflects the social changes in post-war Britain, questioning whether these times will unite or divide the family.
