An American's Guide to British Life

By Marianne Jennings

A twice-monthly exploration of life as an American in the UK, sharing stories of cultural surprises, recipe adaptations, and the charming chaos of bridging two worlds.

Hi friends - if you're liking The Immigrant Chronicles, do yourselves a favor and read Marianne Jennings' An American's Guide To British Life. Although Marianne has a name that sounds like it was ripped directly from the pages of Jane Austen, she's actually an American who has been living in Britain for three or four years now and reporting, often quite hilariously, on the differences she finds there. She has an eagle eye for culture clashes and a wonderful way with words - check her out!
