Changing Places by David Lodge
5.0

Funny, clever and well-written novel about two academics swapping positions and countries in 1969. The fictional towns are thinly-veiled disguises of San Francisco and Birmingham and the contrasts in weather, living-standards and culture are described accurately and savagely.
I enjoyed this from start to finish and want to read more of Lodge's work.
