Nele Pollatschek’s obsession since her youth is called Oxbridge. Nothing could stop her from getting there, where her heroes, the occasionally eccentric English intellectual giants, studied. She made an incredible effort to follow their paths. And, just when she thought she had become a part of it all, Brexit hit.
Like every rejected lover, in her farewell letter to England, Nele Pollatschek explores how this breakup was possible. With the astute eye of a Miss Marple she recognizes that the key to this misery lies right where she had only just been: It is the Oxbridge system that produces precisely the mentality and type of English politician that is in the process of destroying the country.
With profound humor, Pollatschek has written an eye-opening book that erects an extremely entertaining and smart monument to the great love of her life: old England.
