'Hillbilly Elegy'

If you haven't read it, then do.

'Hillbilly Ellegy' by JD Vance is a spectacular read.

This brilliantly written book is the story of a boy growing up in Ohio.

It's about what it says on the tin, a history of opportunity and upward mobility viewed through the eyes of a group of hillbillies from Appalachia.

The Independent says it's a great insight into Trump and Brexit.

That it is, but an awful lot more too.

A must read for anyone who tries to dare say a word about the Gospels.

And can he write.

It was first published in 2016.
