Moving to America in 2008, Finnish journalist Anu Partanen quickly went from confident, successful professional to wary, self-doubting mess. She found that navigating the basics of everyday life - from buying a cell phone and filing taxes to education and childcare - was much more complicated and stressful than anything she encountered in her homeland. At first she attributed her crippling anxiety to the difficulty of adapting to a freewheeling new culture. But as she got to know Americans better, she discovered they shared her deep apprehension.

I wish all Americans would read this book
Revisado: 04-11-23
So many myths about “socialist” Scandinavia and Nordic countries debunked, showing them all to deliver a far better functioning and citizen-empowering society than anything the US has a realistic shot of achieving even in another 50 years, given its intransigent outlook on itself and the world.
Wasn’t crazy about the narrator doing “voices” for some characters, but far from a deal-breaker as it’s a tiny part of the book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 72
Beginning with a sweetly funny, moving account of her arranged marriage, the author undercuts stereotypes and offers the refreshing view of an American life through Muslim eyes. In chapters leavened with humor, hope, and insight, she recounts an immigrant's daily struggles balancing assimilation with preserving heritage, overcoming religious barriers from within and distortions of Islam from without, and confronting issues of raising her children as Muslims - while they lobby for a Christmas tree!

This is a beautifully told personal story that is highly educative, important and enjoyable. Loved the author’s narration on Audible, too!
