An International Episode

More about the book

Cultural distinctions and social misunderstandings drive the narrative, as two British gentlemen meet American women, leading to comedic interactions that reveal the contrasts between hospitality and aloofness across the Atlantic. The story features characters like Willy Woodley and Mr. Westgate, who serve as mere plot devices rather than fully developed figures, resulting in a narrative that lacks cohesion and thematic depth. James skillfully explores the complexities of love and nostalgia within a bi-national context, highlighting the comedic elements of manners and faux pas.
