HOW VERY BRITISH! A Jolly Good Culture Clash Road Trip - Paperback

by Joana Kruse (Author)

Five Foreigners. Two Brits. And One Island Of Delightfully Bonkers Traditions.

A laugh-out-loud fictional story revealing the very real and baffling traditions, quirks, and sheer eccentricities of modern Britain.

"I was properly crying with laughter."

"It's witty, charming, and perfectly captures the beautiful madness of British life."

Brianna and Ryan had imagined showing their home country would be easy: some rolling hills, a few sheep, maybe a castle. Instead, they found themselves guiding five bewildered visitors straight into the heart of British peculiarities.

How does one explain a country where people say sorry to lampposts, pull faces through horse collars, and dash through mud in fancy dress? Where the light switch for the loo is never where you expect, compliments cause alarm, and grown adults process through the streets with flaming barrels balanced on their heads? And all of this before anyone has even braved the brown sauce...

You do not try to explain it. You simply laugh, join the queue, and put the kettle on.

This is a journey beneath the surface of England. As the group stumbles from one cultural mishap to the next, they soon realise that the famous stiff upper lip is mostly a myth, and that sarcasm can be as warm as a hug. It's a story about friendship across borders, muddles and misunderstandings, and the quiet magic of a perfectly timed cup of tea.
