Summary
This AudioFile Earphones award-winning recording of Alison Larkin's bestselling autobiographical novel about an adopted English woman who finds her birth parents and her self in the US is followed by an exclusive interview with the author.

"Author and narrator Alison Larkin lights up the earphones with her portrayal of Pippa Dunn, a young English woman who discovers that her birth parents are Americans. Pippa decides to go to America to meet them and ends up finding herself-and true love. Larkin's heartfelt narration conveys Pippa's mixed up feelings of confusion and guilt-as well as the story's humor. Larkin moves delightfully between the various British and American accents. With gentle humor, she pokes fun at both American and British cultures while making it clear she loves them both. This audio experience is like watching a great romantic comedy. Have the tissues ready at the end-the romance is that good!" AudioFile Magazine - Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.

In addition to being a bestselling novelist and comedienne, Alison Larkin is also the award-winning narrator of over 200 audiobooks including The Complete Novels of Jane Austen.

Alison Larkin's interview with Grammy award-winning producer Paul Alan Ruben is followed by The DNA Song, lyrics by Alison Larkin, music by Gary Schreiner, sung by Alison Larkin.

The English American is a brilliantly funny, poignant listen read by an A list narrator at the top of her game. I will listen to anything by Alison Larkin. Imagine my surprise when I found out she had written a novel. And not just any novel - a big bestseller about something that really matters! I LOVED Pippa Dunn and her journey to find her birth mother and true love. I'm also an Anglophile so laughed until I cried at the comparisons between the cultures which all came out in the characters of the English Mum and the American birth mother. Then the interview at the end told me what I needed to know - how much is fact how much is fiction and it was just fascinating. We had to stop the car and park at the side of the road so we wouldn't be interrupted while listening to the last chapter. This is GREAT!
