LOVE AMERICAJenny Robin JonesCalico PublishingREVIEWED by JESSIE NEILSONJenny Robin Jones had always been intrigued by the idea of America. Growing up in the UK she had held America in her psyche for its unfathomable wealth and materialism, a place with a disparaging attitude of missionary zeal towards the rest of the world. Often she shifts the attention away to the western writers and artists who, like her, were strangers in this land. Love America is an account of a traveller working through both personal and broader attitudes as she explores the histories of a place. This is a sensitive and moving exploration through a small slice of the turmoil that is shaping contemporary America, where visions, lifestyles, race and history continue to collide.
