The English American

Springing from her hit one-woman show of the same name, "The English American" follows Pippa Dunn, who is adopted by British parents and doesn't meet her American birth parents until she is 28. Chaos ensues when reality collides with fantasy, in this hilarious and poignant debut novel.

Alison Larkin was adopted at birth in Washington, D.C., by British parents and raised in England and Africa. After graduation from the University of London and the Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, she became a regular on the British stage with appearances on Broadway, a ubiquitous voice-over artist, and a successful stand-up comic. Her internationally acclaimed one-woman show, The English American, was a highlight of the London Comedy Festival. For more information, go to www.alisonlarkin.com.
