Jennifer Richardson is an American Anglophile who spent three years living in a Cotswold village populated straight out of English central casting. Fumbling aristocrats, gentlemen farmers, and a village idiot—a role she mostly played herself—all provided the source material for her memoir, Americashire.

She is married to an Englishman who, although not the village idiot, provides her with ample writing material. They are very indecisive and therefore live in California and the Cotswolds.

Summer Reading, 2026

It’s Labor Day, so summer reading is officially over even if, with Fogust behind us, summer is only just kicking into gear in San Francisco. Here’s what I finished in the past three months, organized by theme. The books weren’t selected on that basis, but I take inspiration from Susan Orlean’s memoir, the first book I mention below and the last one I read, where she talks about the experience of b

“Find what you love and let it kill you.”
― Charles Bukowski

Meghan Daum
“I can tell you that the comfort zone has many upsides. It may be associated with sloth and cowardice and any number of paralyzing, irrational phobias. It may be a dark abyss where misunderstood people lie around in fading recliners listening to outdated music. But I’m convinced that, when handled responsibly, the comfort zone can be as useful and productive as a well-oiled industrial zone. I am convinced that excellence comes not from overcoming limitations but from embracing them. At least that’s what I’d say if I were delivering a TED Talk. I’d never say such a douchy thing in private conversation.”
― Meghan Daum, The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion
