Description

Dating and intimacy are fun, but how do we nurture love and romance long term? What if distance divides us from our sweetheart? What if our cultures clash? How does it feel to fall for a foreigner? Should we marry? How easy is it to raise globetrotting kids?

Angela Nicoara's ground-breaking book 'Loving an Alien' is a timely reminder that love can conquer any differences. Her work speaks to a shrinking world of easy travel, lightning-fast telecommunications, and increasing contact between people of diverse backgrounds, many of whom will fall in love and get married. Sounds like someone you know, perhaps?

In this true life, romantic page-turner, former broadcast journalist Angela Nicoara interviews twenty-seven women of different nationalities; each responds with an authentic voice that transcends borders to offer helpful relationship advice for women, based on their own successful marriage to a foreigner.

While many relationship books provide theoretical expertise from a single source, 'Loving an Alien' contains twenty-seven personal memoirs from brave women who dared to be different, crossed the cultural divide, and loved to tell the tale. Their stories span the decades to enlighten, surprise, and delight you.

In 'Loving an Alien', you'll learn:

The secrets to successful, international romance - up close and personal.
Why travel often leads to true love, when least expected!
How to follow your heart but think with your head.
What to do if you meet the right person in the wrong place.
When to stand your ground, and when to elope.
How love can "take root and flourish in the rough terrain of an intercultural relationship," as one reviewer said.
How to turn miles into smiles - global perspectives on mate seeking, dating and intimacy, marriage and family.
Why you should test your love in more than one country.
Some crucial do's and don'ts for cross-cultural dating online.
How to navigate ethnic differences, with sensitivity.
Diplomatic strategies for difficult moments: what if you disagree with your partner or his family, on dating and sex?
Why you might need two weddings to the same spouse, and how to plan them successfully!
How to stay cool and cope with bizarre surprises, such as 'free thinking' adult relatives who walk around naked.
Useful tips on raising rootless, bi-lingual, 'third culture' kids.
How to finesse your in-laws and marshal your outlaws, without recourse to costly family therapy.
The language of love - do men really mean what they say?
How to read between the lines and avoid misunderstandings in marriage and adult relationships.

Special Section on International Cooking

If 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach', Angela Nicoara's book offers food for thought. She has gathered twenty-seven recipes from around the world - one from each interviewee - and presents them here, as a bonus, with easy, detailed instructions. Never tried Coliva? Cuban Flan? Soto Betawi? Well, now's your chance!

'Loving an Alien' is a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys travel writing, romantic comedies, and dabbling in the kitchen. Here's a taste of the wisdom in these intimate, personal memoirs:

"It was almost as if I'd been to Mars, had this love affair with a Martian, and now I come home to my own country and I've got a Martian to take care of, right?" Jennifer, USA

"Marrying into a different culture means you're not trapped by your own culture, which was how I felt." Wang, China

"It wasn't like I came to Sri Lanka to marry a Sri Lankan. It just happened!" Jessica, England

"I never thought I'd be with an African, someone so different, from this tiny village." Sophie, France

Author Angela Nicoara survived a failed marriage and met her own alien when least expected. They've lived and worked in seventeen countries over the last twenty years, including five in Africa. Travel gave Angela the idea to share love stories with other nomadic women, and this book was born. Enjoy!
