Klappentext zu „Mendelson, C: Almost English “
In a tiny flat in West London, sixteen-year-old Marina lives with her emotionally delicate mother, Laura, and three ancient Hungarian relatives. Imprisoned by her family's crushing expectations and their fierce unEnglish pride, by their strange traditions and stranger foods, she knows she must escape. But the place she runs to, Combe Abbey boarding school, makes her feel even more of an outsider. ALMOST ENGLISH is a beautifully written, painfully accurate, hilariously witty coming of age tale exploring love across the generations, and a young girl's desperation to fit in without knowing quite how.
