about this author
Alison Larkin was adopted at birth in the US by British parents and raised in Washington DC, England and Africa. After graduating from the University of London and the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, she wrote plays and became a regular on the British stage. Then she moved to America and became a successful stand-up comic and ubiquitous voice artist who has appeared on Broadway. Her internationally acclaimed one woman show, The English American, from which her novel springs, was a wildly popular sold-out hit in England, a highlight of the London Comedy Festival and has been seen in concert performance all over the world. She lives in Northern New Jersey with her husband and two young children. Visit her website at www.alisonlarkin.c...more

"Longevity-and sanity. Eccentric old ladies on Harleys I can deal with."
— Alison Larkin (The English American: A Novel)
— Alison Larkin (The English American: A Novel)
"Who are these people sharing the street with me? What is going on in their worlds, inside their heads? Are they in love? If so, is it the kind that Mum and Dad have? Based on having things in common, like raspberry picking and a love of dogs, and Shakespeare, and long country walks? Or is it the knock-you-out, eat-you-up, set-you-on-fire kind of love that I have longed for-and avoided-all my life?"
— Alison Larkin (The English American: A Novel)
— Alison Larkin (The English American: A Novel)
"I, on the other hand, interrupt people because my thoughts fly out of my mouth. My handbag's full of rubbish. And I want to do something that matters with my life. Right now I'd like to write plays, sing in musicals, and/or rid the world of poverty, violence, cruelty, and right-wing conservative politics."
