About this ebook
Tea & Antipathy is a delightfully hilarious and true account of one American family’s summer in the posh London neighborhood of Knightsbridge in 1965. Capturing the helpless feeling that living in a foreign city often brings, the book recounts how the Millers met a wide variety of memorable characters from all social classes, including Mrs. Grail the Irish cleaning woman, who was convinced that their home was haunted and who hated the English; Basil Goldbrick, a businessman from Manchester; and Basil’s clever wife Daisy, who resented Americans. Told in a gently sardonic tone, this story provides insight on what London was like during the Swinging Sixties and what it was like to uproot a family for an adventurous summer abroad.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tea and Antipathy is a very funny account of an American family living in the posh London neighborhood of Knightsbridge in 1965. Never Have I read a book where one minute I was laughing out loud and the next minute I was yelling for this author, Anita Miller, to tell these people off. I would love to visit London but it I had the same experiences like Anita did I would be spending most of my visit telling these rude people off. I don't know how she kept her cool. If Anita Miller writes another book on her English adventures I'll be the first to read it.I won this book on Goodreads.
