So much more than a "travel book", the author relates his trips back to England (with wife and daughter) to visit family and see the country of his birth. Readers with aging relatives will immediately feel a kinship with him as he relates their adventures with warmth, the occasional frustration, and familiar emotion. As an added bonus, you'll learn a few things about Merrie Olde England! ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Denis Lipman left London's East End for Washington, DC more than 20 years ago, but made an annual pilgrimage year after year to visit aging parents, a pair of cantankerous, real-life Cockneys. He endured the visits as best he could. Enter an American wife. Not content with a grin-and-bear-it attitude, she declares that since the trip to England was inevitable, then it was to be enjoyed: see things, go places! Against his will, our expat becomes a tourist in his homeland and discovers it's not so bad after all, certainly better than remembered! Here is a travel memoir more carbolic than bucolic. Discover a place where the sun doesn't always shine, where going to the loo can be an adventure, and where canned beans on toast is a cornerstone of cuisine. Taste the real East End and tour with a colorful group as they rent cottages, host outrageous relatives, meet the locals and discover the English countryside.
