She had been posted to New York as the Guardian correspondent - but discovered that most New Yorkers mistake the paper for the in-house pamphlet published by La Guardia Airport. He decided to write 'the novel': a year later, it's largely unfinished.
What will make them most anxious - learning that they earn less than their neighbour's dog, or being mistaken for a serial killer by the local newsagent? Neither of these: it's the pink line on the second box of the tester stick... For Joanna's is a pelvis with a passenger.
In this joint diary, we follow the progress of two resident aliens acclimatising to the eccentricities of the Big Apple - and to the idea of parenthood. Drawing on an eclectic cast of supporting characters - from over-achieving, pill-popping friends, to their drill sergeant of a birthing instructor and fearsome cleaning ladies - The Three of U.S. is a wryly real look at the panic of thirtysomethings everywhere.
