Though I haven't finished it yet, I can recommend The Coward's Tale, by Vanessa Gebbie. As is obvious from the title, it is rather like separate stories with a common thread. That's not surprising since the book jacket describes her as an award winning author of two short story collections. While she is Welsh and this novel is set in Wales, she currently lives in Sussex, or at least she did when the book was released in the US. It has been several years and many other books since then.
The one theme that seems to run through the current administration is to destroy any and every idea or treaty that Obama supported or guided or suggested. From the national monument designations, to the Iran nuclear treaty, to DACA Trump is dismantling it all. Spite and ego are not good traits in anyone and they are very flawed starting points for governing.
