Foreigner - Eva Bosch

'Foreigner' is the intriguing account of a friendship between two young women (one Polish, the other Russian) who are trying to find their feet in the difficult and complex city that is London today. They find themselves having to deal as best they can with all kinds of problems, not least, the class differences between both themselves - they come from very different backgrounds - and their English boyfriends, one of whom is a lumpen lad from Liverpool and the other the wealthy son of a public-school educated father. The story is anything but static, moving from London to Algeria, Russia and France, and dealing with themes ranging from sexual abuse, the police murder of a Muslim and racism in general, to the evils of the British educational system
