Part autobiography, part a humourous study of Americana, these essays from Tim Brookes, who moved from England to New England, came about as an accident. While working on a doomed book about communting, Brookes developed an odd affection for dirt roads, in particular his own driveway - a tiny dirt road, a masterpiece of inconvenience. The result is this wonderful book, a well-balanced mix of family life, nature, skewed Americana and shrewd English wit. A perfect book for anyone who has ever visited America, or ever wanted to do so.
