American English: Memoir of an Englishman in New York

5/5 ( ratings)

Thatcher’s Britain, 1985. Skies are gray, jobs in short supply, and finding a decent cup of coffee is a near impossibility. Nigel has just graduated with a degree in history. “What are you going to do with a history degree?” people ask. Good question.

Looking for an answer, he travels. In Berlin, a chance meeting with a streetwise New Yorker changes things forever. Head over heels, it’s not long before he’s on a one-way trip to America. He’s searching for something—maybe New York is the place to find it.

Told with dry and self-deprecating humor, American English is a bittersweet tale of love in a strange land. This is a story about fitting in and remaining apart, about losing and finding a home.

Language: English

Format: Kindle Edition
