In 1996 Sarah Lyall, a New York Times reporter, left behind her American roots & moved to London for love. As that newspapers correspondent in London, she became known here for her witty & incisive dispatches from her adopted country, as she conjured with her new & eccentric countrymen. She also found herself with a ringside seat at a singular moment in British life: the roller-coaster years of Tony Blairs New Labour had inaugurated a battle between the old world of aristocratic privilege & a new world of modern meritocracy. In A Field Guide to the British, Lyall strides her way readably, eloquently & perceptively across the social, political & cultural landscape of contemporary Britain. In a narrative studded with memorable anecdote & rich in humour, she explores themes as diverse as peers, politics, the media, understatement, the weather, & Britains relationship with animals, alcohol & sex. She ponders such matters as the missing link between the famous British reserve & the famous British hooliganism (could it possibly be binge drinking?); how any parliamentary motion is ever passed when the Commons act like naughty schoolboys & the Lords spend two days debating UFOs; & the age-old question of how anyone could possibly enjoy a game as tedious as cricket? A Field Guide to the British is an impressively wide-ranging survey of contemporary British mores from a writer blessed with acute powers of observation & a fluent & readable writing style. Seeing ourselves through Lyalls eyes is sometimes embarrassing, often revelatory
- but always very funny. Wry, insightful & engaging, A Field Guide to the British is permeated with a deep affection for its authors adopted country & an unerring eye for its oddities & eccentricities. It is required reading for Anglophiles & Anglophobes on both sides of the Atlantic.
