{"product_id":"9781934848555","title":"A Yank Back to England: The Prodigal Tourist Returns","description":"Denis Lipman left London’s East End for Washington, DC more than 20 years ago, but made an annual pilgrimage year after year to visit aging parents, a pair of cantankerous, real-life Cockneys. He endured the visits as best he could. Enter an American wife. Not content with a grin-and-bear-it attitude, she declares that since each year’s trip to England was inevitable, it was to be enjoyed:  see the sites, taste the culture, go places! Against his will, our expat becomes a tourist in his homeland and comes to discover it’s not so bad after all. Through new eyes, England is certainly better than he remembered! Enjoy a travel memoir more carbolic than bucolic. Discover a place where the sun rarely shines, where electricity is coin-operated, and where canned beans on toast is a cornerstone of cuisine. Taste the real East End and tour with a colorful, combative and fundamentally affectionate family as they rent cottages, host outrageous relatives, meet the locals and discover the English countryside.","brand":"GemmaMedia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165668950256,"sku":"9781934848555","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934848555_p0.jpg?v=1763655635","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934848555","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
