Sarah Lyall is a London correspondent for the New York Times. The Anglo Files is her first book.
Praise for The Anglo Files

The Anglo Files should be handed out, as a public service, in the immigration line at Heathrow.” - MALCOLM GLADWELL, author of Blink

“Superb social and cultural anthropology by a reporter who has lived among her subjects without losing her sense of wonder for them. Imagine Margaret Mead channeling Jon Stewart and you have Sarah Lyall.” - ERIC LAX, author of Conversations with Woody Allen

“By turns wry, mordant, affectionate, bitter, and sweet. I never miss any of her dispatches, because, while they manage to remind me why I left, they also contrive to make me feel occasionally homesick.” - CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, author of God Is Not Great

“For years now, Sarah Lyall has been the writer observer of the English and their curious habits. Now she’s written a book that takes her game to an entirely new level. It’s funny, it’s delightful, and anyone with even a passing interest in these strange people should read it.” - MICHAEL LEWIS, author of Moneyball

Reviews

“Sarah Lyall tracks the odd and endearing behaviors that help us measure our own quirks and cultural obsessions.” - LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Amusing and well-written.” - USA TODAY

“A good, funny book.” - BOOKFORUM
