A Yank Back to England

A while back I featured an interview with British expat Denis Lipman who now resides in the USA. Denis has just had a new book published "A Yank Back to England."

This is what Amazon have to say about the book:

"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 discover 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."

If you would like to know a little more about Denis can I recommend you read my interview with him then pop over to Amazon and reserve a copy of his book, "A Yank Back to England," since I am sure it will be a success and a good read.
