A must read for all non Brits living in Britain
This is a great book that I read in one sitting, as I just had to keep on going to find out what advice and experiences that Peterson Fenn has had. Needless to say I was not disappointed. I found myself identifying with many of the situations that she has experienced, and now thanks to her resources page there are some additional books and websites that I need to explore.

A great read and captures the weird & wonderful British culture as viewed by non-Brits
I loved this book. As the child of an Indian mother who left her native South Africa to live in Britain with my English dad, I felt I could relate to what it must have been like for her bringing up her children in a culture very different to her own. I loved reading about people's experiences in the book, it gave it a very real feel. I was also saddened by the negative experiences.
It was lovely to read about the authors Americanisms and it reminds me that here in Britain we do have some awareness of American culture, probably due to the amount of American TV programmes. However, British culture seems quite alien to those arriving here!
A must read for Brits and non-Brits alike!

Wish I'd read this 20 years ago!
A lovely little book filled with the observations of men and women who have moved to the UK and are trying to immerse themselves into british culture. Having moved here myself 20 years ago, I recognised a lot of the shared feelings and experiences and wish I had read this book back then. It would have made it all a lot less confusing and isolating!
