[JDPUB: 99] NEW BOOK: A LEGAL ALIEN by Jo Latimer

A Legal Alien by Jo Latimer has just been published by Just Done R140

 

A Legal Alien is a fresh, frank and thoroughly hilarious take on London life as experienced by a young Capetonian woman, Alex, on what has become a rite of passage for many South Africans – the working holiday abroad. Putting a quirky spin on the old roman de letters (novel of letters), the story unfolds through a series of entertaining and often side-splitting email communications between Alex and her close friends and family back home – especially her straight-talking, foot-in-mouth-prone friend Terry.

 

Jo Latimer has a talent for creating vividly real characters and, like the best novelists, weaving a compelling storyline from the seemingly unconnected characters and incidents that cross her protagonist’s daily path. The result is a romantic comedy that is simply ‘unputdownable’.

 

Based loosely on the author’s own experiences, this lively, unconventional book is a ‘must read’, especially for those considering relocating and for veterans of the working holiday stint (who will find themselves clutching their sides in memory – both bitter and sweet – of the experience). With its tongue-in-cheek “South African survival tips for living in England”, the book is as much a novice’s guide to London as it is an unabashed celebration of ‘South Africanness’. Elaine Young
