That Brexit Thing
John Tallon Jones
The long-awaited sequel to the A to Z of Living in Italy.
It is advisable to read the A to Z of Living in Italy before reading this book. Not to do so would be like reading an Agatha Christie novel and starting from the last page.
The Plot
After spending over twenty years in a small village in the South of Italy, the author takes his family back home to England.
Just like the first book gives a very personal observation of what it’s like to be an Englishman living in Southern Italy, That Brexit Thing shows the changes that have occurred in Britain during his absence.
After such a long time away, the writer doesn’t feel either English or Italian and, with his Italian/English family, now faces the long process of settling back into an English way of life.
Once again, it’s a compromise to come to terms with an unfamiliar environment. The writer admits that his home country has changed, but perhaps the most significant changes he faces are within himself.
That Brexit Thing is full of ironic English humor and surprising observations on his new home.
