The blurb makes much of the American female protagonist having to come to terms with the differnt culture in England, London in particular. In fact this book is much more about two peopl who fall in lust and after a few months fall out again. Unfortunately by then she is pregnant and they are married.
On top of that, when she has the baby she goes into severe depression (endlessly described) and it turns out that her husband, whom she doesn't know at all, is an absolute bastard.
I liked the opening, and I liked the ending. The middle I managed to survive.
It transpires, that I have read another book by this guy - The Pursuit of Happiness. If I recall correctly, that was much the same in style, frustratingness and final rating.
They're both pretty good aeroplane/holiday books.
Rated 6/10
