The book's contemporary layout is unique. Chapters are introduced by authentic emails from American friends who subtly turn the screws on Leslie Ann as she encounters pitfalls in her daily life. Others display a clear bias towards compatriots living abroad, especially after 9/11. All, however, contribute to the tapestry of the story. The book resonates with the paradoxes of a changing society and advances the theory that New York is not the sole representative of America any more than London is of England. Leslie Ann explores the abyss of nationalistic attitudes on both sides of the Atlantic. Inviting readers to put themselves into the picture, Yanks and Brits will enjoy laughing at each other's foibles from across the pond. Pitching humorous quips and accurate observations, Leslie Ann has learned one simple truth - social suicide in England always begins with "Have a nice day."

A delightful new book which captures the essence of the countryside with wit and wry observation. This is no smart aleck view as purveyed by many louder-than-life Yanks who think the M1 is a cart track. This is a gentle and affectionate look at our lifestyle as only an outsider can perceive it. --Rutland & Stamford Mercury
It is an entertaining volume...when making fun of either customs or people, she does so with gentle humour and without malice, and often displays the endearing characteristic of being able to laugh at herself. --Leicestershire and Rutland Life
Enchanting accounts of living in Tuscany or the south of France have set such a high standard that this tale of an American moving from London to the countryside has stiff competition. American-born author Leslie Ann Bosher and her British-born husband buy a spacious apartment in a 17th century manor house and become acquainted with the rustic joys of winter weather, market days, country fashions and the village pub. It may not be the sun-drenched landscape of Provence or the ancient walled town of Montalcino but life in the English countryside seen, despite her duel nationality, through American eyes is entertaining reading. --Sydney Newspaper, The Mosmon Daily

Leslie Ann is a devoted Anglophile. Holding duel citizenship, American and British, she infuses her story with anecdotes distilled over 15 years. Having traveled extensively from Australia to Nepal, Russia to Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan to Morocco she has learned how to pitch humorous quips and accurate observations about her environs. In a serendipitous move in 2002 she left the paving stones of London for the green pastures of the English countryside, an area no less strange than many of the countries she has visited.
