Description
I’m A Stranger Here Myself by Deric Longden is a charming and humorous memoir that explores the quirks and unexpected adventures of relocating to Huddersfield, Yorkshire. After the success of his bestselling book and marrying fellow writer Aileen Armitage, Longden made the life-changing decision to move to a new town filled with distinctive characters and customs. Rather than a traditional travelogue, this memoir captures the everyday challenges and amusing moments that arise in ordinary life — from dealing with household mishaps to reflecting on memories stirred by sorting through old clothes.
Longden’s gentle wit and observational humour transform the mundane into an engaging narrative full of warmth and humanity. Whether it’s wrestling with a stubborn gas cooker or embarking on a simple shopping trip that turns into a comedy of errors, his storytelling reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary. This book is a delightful read for fans of light-hearted memoirs and anyone who appreciates the humour found in everyday life.
I’m A Stranger Here Myself is perfect for readers who enjoy travel writing with a personal, humorous twist and stories about finding home in unexpected places.
