Watching the English: The Hidden Rules of English Behaviour by Kate Fox

4.0

This book has a happy little story as it was sent to me by a friend who I've never met, but with whom I have connected over a shared love of Agatha Christie! I read a lot of British mystery and this book has been great to set the context of the social aspects of those novels (as well as other books/TV/movies born of the English).

If I had a complaint it would be that I don't think the author particularly likes Americans! Ha! While I could see truth in many of her criticisms of American culture, my insider's perspective suggests that there was a lot of stereotyping and generalization.

I will definitely keep this on hand to refer back to frequently.
