A New Life in New York

Produktbeschreibung

They're British. They're new in town. They're hypochondriacs. And they're pregnant.

After a decade in the London media, Joanna Coles and Peter Godwin set sail to start a new life in New York. She to work as a foreign correspondent; he to embark on The Novel. What will make them most anxious - learning that they earn less than their neighbour's dog, or being mistaken for a serial killer by the local newsagent? Neither of these: it's the pink line on the second box of the tester stick...For Joanna's is a pelvis with a passenger.

In this joint diary, we follow the progress of two resident aliens acclimatising to the eccentricities of the Big Apple - and to the idea of parenthood. Drawing on an eclectic cast of supporting characters - from over-achieving, pill-popping friends, to their drill sergeant of a birthing instructor and fearsome cleaning ladies - 'The Three of U.S. is a wryly real look at the panic of thirtysomethings everywhere.
