Description
Foreign Affairs by Alison Lurie is a heart-wrenching and comic masterpiece about unexpected romance. When American professor Vinnie Miner settles into her aeroplane seat for a six-month research trip to London, she's accosted by Chuck, a brash engineer wearing cowboy boots. Though they never imagine meeting again, the wet and windy city turns out to be the perfect setting for fresh beginnings.
As Vinnie navigates her new surroundings, she finds herself taking up space, breathing the air, and refusing to become a minor character in her own life. With its witty dialogue and poignant exploration of love and identity, Foreign Affairs is a beautifully crafted story that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
With an introduction by Amanda Craig, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a humorous and thought-provoking tale about finding one's place in the world.
