Read by James Adams.

At the outset of World War II, Jack Rosenblum, his wife, Sadie, and their baby daughter escape Berlin, bound for London. They are greeted with a pamphlet instructing immigrants how to act like "the English." Jack acquires Savile Row suits and a Jaguar. He never speaks German, apart from the occasional curse. But the one key item that would make him feel fully British -- membership in a golf club -- remains elusive. In postwar England, no golf club will admit a Rosenblum. Jack hatches a wild idea: he'll build his own. It's an obsession Sadie does not share, particularly when Jack relocates them to a cottage in Dorset to embark on his project. She doesn't want to forget who they are or where they came from. Now she's stuck in an inhospitable landscape filled with unwelcoming people, watching their bank account shrink as Jack pursues his quixotic dream.
