Isolated and lonely in a Britain increasingly hostile to foreigners, she meets a landscape architect and the two begin to build their future together.
Playing with language and the cultural differences that
our narrator encounters as she settles into her new life, the lovers
must navigate their differences and their romance, whether on their
unmoored houseboat or in a cramped apartment in east London. Suffused
with a wonderful sense of humour, this intimate novel asks what it means
to make a home and a family in a new land.
