Exit Brexit - How I became German

Connolly gives us a glimpse of the identity crisis that many Britons have experienced

since the EU referendum in the UK, describing her sometimes bizarre route to obtaining

German nationality. At the same time, she sheds light on Britain’s complex relations with

Europe and Germany, mentioning her grandfather, who returned form the war with a

copy of Mein Kampf, Margaret Thatcher’s pro-EU campaign sweater, and Boris Johnson’s legendary zip-wire stunt. Exit Brexit clearly reflects Connolly’s years of experience as a correspondent yet it is one of the most personal responses to Brexit to date.
