All she brought with her was a small bag, a sense of adventure, a desire to work and a copy of George Mikes's classic 1940s humour book about the peculiarities of the British, \u003ci\u003eHow to be an Alien\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'In England everything is typical. If your train is late, it is typical. If there are no seats on the upper deck of a bus, it is typical. If it starts to rain at five o'clock just before you leave work, it is typical.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough every dodgy flat share, low-paid waitressing job, awkward date and office mishap, Angela held tight to George's wit and wisdom. With his help she began to understand how to live amongst the English - with their eccentricity, spirit and singing train drivers - and fell in love with a land rich in green spaces, pubs and puddings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'The English do not like to be wished \"Have a nice day\", because to them it sounds like a command. They think, Who the hell do you think you are to order me to have a nice day?' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wry, often affectionate view on the English, and how to navigate our national personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Kiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910463213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910463215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e September Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Angela Kiss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937416642815,"sku":"9781910463215","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_02194a22-dd08-4ba4-a143-1f93d31164eb.jpg?v=1681429936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-to-be-an-alien-angela-kiss-9781910463215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
