My Oxford Year

This book was completely out of left field for me. While it does have a strong sense of place, and as any student of English might expect, getting to know Oxford University vicariously is just as exciting as one might think. The story doesn't stop here though, this isn't about an American on a Rhodes scholarship to England, this is about friendship and love. This is about life in all its beauty and tragedy. P. S. Julia Whelan's voice, voice actor extraordinaire, makes the plummy notes of Oxford English sound just as credible as those of an American from Ohio. Chapeau !
