Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 298 pages. In 1996 Sarah Lyall, a New York Times reporter, left behind her American root s and moved to London for love. As that newspaper's correspondent in London, she became known here for her witty and incisive dispatches from her adopted countr y, as she conjured with her new and eccentric countrymen.
