The author is an old friend, though sadly we lost touch years ago. She had and still has a wonderful (and rare?) gift for telling funny stories against herself. Her transition from fashion editor to diplomatic spouse took her to many places that tourists rarely see and led her to write this highly entertaining but also very informative account of exotic places and people and numerous perilous adventures which she and her family somehow survived.
