A great read, I really enjoyed this book. It is quite different. Mr. Rosenblum tries to adapt to living with the English culture. He moves from Germany, is Jewish. and feels that he is different in the English culture.
Mr. Rosenblum can't quite shake his feeling different, and tries to adapt. He tries, he struggles, but yet he continues to feel like an outsider.
Mr. Rosenblum has a dream of having a golf course; a dream that totally overtakes him, so much so, that it is all he desires. His well-established carpet business takes a beating in his desire to have his golf course. He struggles with his relationship with his wife, and nearly loses his house, as well as his business. The book tells a good story of how an individual from another culture can struggle trying to adapt to a new culture, and make a 'go' of it. A well-written read.
