Watching The EnglishWatching The English

'If you like this kind of anthropology (and I do) there is a wealth of it to enjoy in this book. Her observations are acute...fortunately she doesn't write like an anthropologist but like an English woman - with amusement, not solemnity, able to laugh at herself as well as us.' DAILY MAIL

'She has not only compiled a comprehensive list of English qualities, she has examined them in depth and wondered how we came to acquire them. Her book is a delightful read.' THE SUNDAY TIMES

'I loved the section on mobile-phone etiquette... I liked the chapter on English humour. This is an entertaining, clever book. Do read it and then pass it on.' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Amusing...entertaining.' THE TIMES

'Both hilarious and wincingly accurate in its portrayal of English society.' WHAT'S ON IN LONDON

'She's a witty and eloquent writer whose accessible book reads as a scholarly classification of our shared codes of behaviour and an affectionate homage to our foibles.' METRO+
