The Expat Diaries by Michele Gorman is due for release next year, and I have to say, it looks fantastic! The book will hit the shelves in April 2010 (love the tagline - One girl, one city, one disaster waiting to happen.) Here's some more info from Michele's site:What happens when you take one 26-year-old America, add to one 2,000 year old city, add a big dose of culture clash and stir? Hannah Cumming and the population of London are about to find out.
How is Hannah to know that there's a special technique to crossing the street or riding a bus, or that words like tomato will elicit snide elocution lessions from the locals? Hannah lands alone in London only to find that she is totally ill-equipped to live there. Not that a complete lack of forethought has ever stopped her before. She charges headlong into London life, perplexing its residents with continual faux pas and cultural misunderstandings in her pursuit of a new life, new love and sense of herself.
