Dear London: Notes from the Big CityA wonderfully original, warm and witty account of London over the past 3 decades that simultaneously charts the authors rise from incidental tourist to internationally renowned agony aunt. Irma Kurtz arrived in London from New Jersey in the late 1950s. Horrified by the postwar drabness, she fled to Paris, city of romance and heartbreak . She returned to London in 1963, and her renewed encounter with the city developed into a slow burn love affair.
