Scousers, Sweets, and Separate Taps: Our Year in England

by Brittany Olsen

Overview

When the Olsens considered moving from the United States to the UK for a year of grad school, they thought it would be easy. Sure, England would be rainy, but they'd get to live in a foreign country without learning a new language, and they'd get free health care and lots of shepherds pie. Boy, were they naive! This comic book covers all the adventures of moving to an unfamiliar country, from the rocky beginnings of learning how to use different plumbing to the joys of trying every new food and making friends. (By the way-not needing to learn a foreign language? They were totally wrong about how steep the learning curve is to understand a Liverpool accent!) These daily slice-of-life comics include surprising observations about English culture as well as insights from trips the couple took around the British Isles.
