Ebook short description

More Postcards From Across the Pond is a welcome continuation of the adventures of an accidental expat. These wry and witty glimpses into the everyday life of an American, who—through no fault of his own—found himself living on the other side of the Atlantic, are certain to delight and amuse.

Extended description

In 2001, Michael Harling was enjoying a quiet life in an American suburb and planning to continue doing so. Then, in August of that year, while on vacation in Ireland, he met a woman from England.

No longer baffled by simple tasks--such as mailing a letter or buying shoelaces--Mr. Harling turns his eye toward the minutiae of daily life and the foibles that challenge his sanity both as a newly minted British citizen and as a huma...

"More Postcards From Across the Pond" is a chronicle, not so much about what divides us, but what makes us the same.
