What happens when a foreigner tries to survive in the UK armed with nothing but optimism and a dodgy umbrella?
Keep Calm - I'm Foreign is a witty, warm, and sharply observant collection of essays chronicling one woman's gentle descent into Britishness - from decoding polite aggression and mastering the art of queuing, to surviving British yoga, over-apologising to strangers, and discovering the true spiritual role of chips in a nation's diet.
Based on real experiences (and several minor existential crises), this book is part diary, part cultural autopsy, and part love letter to a land where everything is either lovely or a bit much today, isn't it?.
Whether you're an expat, an immigrant, or simply fascinated by Britain's baffling blend of emotional restraint and passionate weather discussions - this book will make you laugh, nod, cringe, and maybe whisper sorry to no one in particular.
If you've ever felt out of place in a place that prides itself on not making a fuss - this one's your cuppa.
