immigrants in books

 

I just finished two books about moving to a new country. Tracy Cevaliers The Last Runaway tells a story of an English woman moving to America. The main caracter is missing the exact things that take me time to get used to here in England; the rainy mild weather and the subtle manners of people´s approach. 

Zidaine Lindans Letters from Japan  two Russians immigrants in Finland and in Japan are having a dialog about their new home coutries. This book made me laugh of the ways of the Finns; the silent treatment and the obsession with Arabia tableware.
