About this product
Product Information
'It was time, the editor told me, for a more modern approach to Germany...The three of us were the backbone of the British press corps. No cliche about Germany left the country without us having given it our seal of approval.'Laugh-out-loud funny, this is the memorable story of an English journalist's adventures - including his encounters with women - as he tries to get to grip with the Germans. Facing bankruptcy, Roger is advised by his accountant to make use of a legal loophole: in Germany married couples have their tax bill halved. So the search is on for a German bride. Meanwhile his father, a former bomber pilot and war hero, is also in financial trouble and is threatening to move to Germany and sponge off his son.The combination of financial, romantic and parental crises sets in train a hilarious romp during which we discover more than we really wanted to about speed-dating and nudist beaches, the British media obsession with Adolf Hitler and how to cheat at the Berlin marathon, curry wurst and stuffed cabbage. Writing incisively and almost without prejudice, Roger Boyes describes the peculiarities of everyday life in Germany. AUTHOR: Roger Boyes, 54, was born in Hereford into a military family and moved around a lot. He has been a foreign correspondent for over thirty years, and is currently the GErmany correspondent for The Times and author of the column 'My Berlin' in Tagesspiegel.
