Keep Calm - I'm Foreign: Mildly Lost in the UK: A Diary

By Eloise Filligan

What happens when a foreigner tries to survive in the UK armed with nothing but optimism and a dodgy umbrella?

Keep Calm - I'm Foreign is a witty, warm, and sharply observant collection of essays chronicling one woman's gentle descent into Britishness - from decoding polite aggression and mastering the art of queuing, to surviving British yoga, over-apologising to strangers, and discovering the true spiritual role of chips in a nation's diet.

Based on real experiences (and several minor existential crises), this book is part diary, part cultural autopsy, and part love letter to a land where everything is either "lovely" or "a bit much today, isn't it?".

Whether you're an expat, an immigrant, or simply fascinated by Britain's baffling blend of emotional restraint and passionate weather discussions - this book will make you laugh, nod, cringe, and maybe whisper "sorry" to no one in particular.

If you've ever felt out of place in a place that prides itself on not making a fuss - this one's your cuppa.
