Description
The English American A Novel by Alison Larkin is a debut novel that explores the complexities of identity and culture. Pippa Dunn's life is marked by a sense of disconnection from her British upbringing, despite sharing many traditional English habits. Her discovery of an American birth family at age twenty-eight sets off a chain of events that forces her to confront her sense of self. As Pippa navigates two opposing cultures and two different men, she finds herself caught in a web of chaos and heart-wrenching uncertainty. With its humorous and poignant tone, this novel delves into the intricacies of family, identity, and belonging. Through Pippa's journey, Larkin offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
