Why do Brits say I'm fine when they are absolutely not fine? Why can a queue jumper inspire more silent fury than an actual crime? And why is putting the kettle on considered an appropriate response to almost every crisis?
Brits Don't Do Drama: We Just Complain About Everything Quietly is a hilarious tour through the wonderfully peculiar habits, phrases and unwritten rules of British life.
From weather that seems personally determined to ruin your plans, to the sacred art of queuing, the weaponised sorry, passive-aggressive neighbours, tea emergencies, contested parking spaces and the mysterious British ability to be furious without ever actually making a scene, this book explores the everyday situations that make Britain unmistakably British.
With sharp observations, absurd examples and plenty of affectionate satire, it explains the hidden meanings behind phrases such as interesting, not too bad, never mind, and the particularly dangerous no, honestly, it's fine.
Whether you are British, married to a Brit, living next door to one, visiting the UK, or simply baffled by the entire nation, this is a celebration of the glorious art of complaining without causing a fuss.
Because sometimes the most British thing you can say is: Lovely weather, isn't it? - while quietly seething inside.
