Quite possibly, Britain's answer to Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a small island'. Andy Gabriel-Powell arrived in America in 2016, and departed via a 3000 mile road trip through the Appalachians in 2024. In that time he visited 22 States, 8 National Parks, and some of America's best known cities. He also spent time with Native Americans, the Amish community, and people from the backwoods of Appalachia. From the challenge of finding work, to living through Covid, appearing on national television, and witnessing the rise of Donald Trump, he saw it all. This Bryson-esque account, infused with sharp wit and observational humour, transcends the typical travelogues, and reveals America from within-a place of contradiction, where the truth is for sale, and where you can buy a gun faster than you can order a pizza. An insightful, entertaining, and truly engrossing read.
