A a fast-paced, witty read with phraseology that elevates the reader's status from voyeur to participant; an entertaining account of a devoted Anglophile, holding dual citizenship - American and British, as she exchanges her treasured city life in London for a converted seventeenth-century manor house located in England's smallest county.
Be prepared to laugh out loud at the foibles of humankind as Leslie Ann Bosher exchanges her treasured city life for unremitting open space in this wryly written story of a naturalised Brit who decides to make room for a pair of Wellington boots beside her stilettos. When American-born London resident Leslie Ann Bosher pictured her future, she thought that a little weekend hideaway in Paris would be on the cards. So she was rather taken aback when her husband, Bill, showed her a brochure on a Stocken Hall. Join Leslie Ann as she takes us on a humour-filled journey to English country living: from the joys and quirks of a small town and the people who reside in it, to the wonderful differences between the British and American approaches to life.
