Helpful Score: 2
Imagine if the heir to the British throne and his glamorous bride were so dysfunctional that they were forced by the royal family to travel to the U.S.A. incognito with no money, possessions or connections and stay until they had reconquered our land. How would such a ridiculous adventure change them? That's the premise of this hilarious and strangely touching book. Helprin manages to skewer everyone - British and American - while avoiding a heavy-handed cynicism. The book is filled with absurd puns and cultural references that may render it indecipherable to future generations so read it now!
