书籍简介

《时代》畅销书

“年度有趣的书之一”——保罗·罗斯，talkRADIO

警告：包含一个不太可能的移民、一个无名国家、一段坎坷的恋情、几个破碎的先入之见、洞察力的痕迹、十几个修女和一次公投。

很少有英国人会搬到波兰去鱼和薯条店工作。

更少的人回来想成为欧洲议会议员。

2016 年，本·艾特肯趁着还有机会的时候搬到了波兰。吸引他的不是爱情，而是好奇心：他想知道英国的波兰人留下了什么。他飞到一个他从未听说过的地方，然后接受了一份低工资的薯条店工作。

当他不削土豆皮时，他就在路上探索这个国家：他和一位持欧洲怀疑论的农民一起挤牛奶；错过了去奥斯维辛的巴士；和完全陌生的人一起过圣诞节，去格但斯克了解共产主义是如何被废除的。到了年底，他对波兰人背弃的东西有了更好的了解——南部的山脉、北部的海滩、饺子！——以及不可思议的剔鳕鱼骨的能力。

这是一个坦率、有趣和另类的故事，讲述了作为一个不太可能的移民一年的经历。

A TIMES BESTSELLER

'One of the funniest books of the year' - Paul Ross, talkRADIO

WARNING: CONTAINS AN UNLIKELY IMMIGRANT, AN UNSUNG COUNTRY, A BUMPY ROMANCE, SEVERAL SHATTERED PRECONCEPTIONS, TRACES OF INSIGHT, A DOZEN NUNS AND A REFERENDUM.

Not many Brits move to Poland to work in a fish and chip shop.

Fewer still come back wanting to be a Member of the European Parliament.

In 2016 Ben Aitken moved to Poland while he still could. It wasn't love that took him but curiosity: he wanted to know what the Poles in the UK had left behind. He flew to a place he'd never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on the minimum wage.

When he wasn't peeling potatoes he was on the road scratching the country's surface: he milked cows with a Eurosceptic farmer; missed the bus to Auschwitz; spent Christmas with complete strangers and went to Gdansk to learn how communism got the chop. By the year's end he had a better sense of what the Poles had turned their backs on - southern mountains, northern beaches, dumplings! - and an uncanny ability to bone cod.

This is a candid, funny and offbeat tale of a year as an unlikely immigrant.
