Farthing, by Jo Walton, is an alternate-history set in a 1949 where the UK accepted Rudolf Hess's peace offer in 1941, leading to a Reich that's consolidated the Continent and is still bogged down fighting the Soviet Union. It features unveiled antisemitism and the rise of UK fascism dressed in democratic norms.

I don't know why I thought this would be a good comfort reread in 2019.

(My previous comments hold up well.)

Yeah. That sounds about right.
