George Bernard Shaw called the United States and Great Britain “two peoples separated by a common language.” Cultural differences in food, grammar, dates, money, and vocabulary are highlighted in Naomi’s novels through the use of verbal expressions, idioms, and spelling. London, the setting for Naomi’s books, is one of the world’s great international cities and a logical destination for the protagonist in The Witness, a college graduate with a degree in English literature.
