Americashire: A Field Guide To A Marriage (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This was free on an Amazon daily deal, and it was worth the price. Since the book was advertised as the memoir of an American who settled in England with her husband and was on the brink of motherhood, it was rather startled to learn that she chose not to have children and moved back to Los Angeles shortly after the end of the book. I liked the style of the writing and the depiction of the beautiful English countryside, but did not ultimately find much about the author to love. I won this book in a blog contest. I really wanted it, too, because Ms. Richardson lived my fantasy: an American woman in a Cotswolds cottage. There's more, of course: the English husband, the wonderful characters, the wine bar, and the birth of lambs. There's even more than that: the things she and her husband must deal with give Richardson's story depth to go along with the delight. If you are an Anglophile like me, I highly recommend this book.

A fun tipsy trip through the British countryside through the eyes of an American expat.
