In some ways a fascinating, interesting book, a story of diplomatic life about the wives, daughters, sisters, children and sometimes the other way round when the Wife is the Diplomat. All seen through their own eyes. It is an incredible story of the many hardships these families endured reaching the far corners of the globe. Highly amusing at times and sometimes very sad. A picture of eccentricity mixed with pomp and glamour in far-off places.
