Warm memoir of a series of visits to America to visit old school-friends. The visits are woven through with meditations on identity and a wistful funniness. ( )

I remember sandi when she was on childrens tv. I was later asonished to discover that english was not her first language - but she certainly has a way with it.
This is a true story with all the little asides that come from that, but a clear and easy progression through the narative. funny because of the way that it is written rather than the story being funny in itself.

Surprisingly interesting, and personal whilst very funny. Its as much about a mid life crisis as the strangeness of Americans. Gladys are a circle of women students and teachers who put a play on 20 odd years ago at high school and led to all deciding that the theatre was the life for them. Sandi has a reunion with them individually to discover what happened in reality as she explores her own life and the choices she needs to make. ( )
