Ben Aitken

    La scrittura di Ben Aitken nasce spesso da esperienze non convenzionali e da un'acuta osservazione. Il suo primo lavoro ha comportato il seguire le orme di un popolare scrittore di viaggi attraverso il Regno Unito, portando a una raccolta di note a piè di pagina umoristiche. Avventurandosi ulteriormente, Aitken si è trasferito in Polonia per immergersi in un negozio locale di fish and chips, un'esperienza che è diventata la base del suo libro successivo. Attraverso questi viaggi unici, Aitken esplora le sfumature culturali e le avventure personali con una voce distintiva e accattivante.

TWO UNLIKELY HOUSEMATES.While hunting for a room in London, Ben Aitken came across one for a great price in a lovely part of town. There had to be a catch. And there was. The catch was an 85-year-old widow who doesn't suffer fools.Full of warmth, wit and candor, The Marmalade Diaries tells the story of an unlikely friendship built during an unlikely time. One of the pair, a grieving aristocrat in her mid-eighties. The other? A millennial snowflake. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right?Out of the most inauspicious of soils - and from the author of The Gran Tour - comes a book about grief, family, friendship, loneliness, life, love, lockdown and marmalade.
