This is another paragraph Review: As the daughter of a diplomat, Katie Hickman is well situated to write about the lives of the women who, from the 17th century onward, have traversed the globe as partners of Britain's ambassadors. These women are more than simply bored socialites or helpmeets, they are indispensable companions, intrepid travellers, and, in many cases, exemplary ambassadors for their country. Hickman details the lives of the female ambassadors, from flamboyant characters such as Vita Sackville-West, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and the bolter Emma Hamilton, to lesser-known contemporary stoics like Jane-Ewart-Biggs, whose husband, the British Ambassador to Eire, was killed by an IRA car bomb in 1976, and Veronica Atkinson and family who cowered in the basement of the British Embassy in Bucharest during the 1989 uprising that overthrew the Romanian dictator Nicolai Ceaucescu. What frequently unites Hickman's wildly different subjects is their loneliness--drawing on letters, diaries and memoirs, she portrays women who had to discipline themselves to adapt (often ingeniously) to unfamiliar cultures, far away from friends and family--many, in particular, were separated from their children, who would be sequestered at boarding school back in Britain--while maintaining an unimpeachable public image. I shall be obliged to travel three or four days between Buda and Essek without finding any house at all, through desert plains covered with snow, where the cold is so violent many have been killed by it, wrote Lady Mary Wortley Montagu of her treacherous journey to Constantinople in 1716. Almost 300 years later, in 1996, Stephanie Hopkinson wryly itemised the bizarre qualifications necessary for daily diplomatic life in a Sarajevo under siege: Ability to.apply make-up in the dark; aptitude for for bathing in a cold teacup and keeping one's hair/self/clothes clean and uncrumpled as long as possible .vivid imagination which converts tinned frankfurters, bread and rice into smoked salmon/steak and chips.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. A mixture of poignant biography and marvellously entertaining social history. This book is the story of diplomatic life as it has never been told before. Touching on the lives of nearly a hundred diplomatic wives, as well as sisters and daughters, this is a brilliant and compelling account of more than three centuries of British diplomacy as seen through the eyes of some of its most intrepid and least-known participants. There is light discolouration to the text block edge. PLEASE NOTE ; International economy shipping is by sea and may take upto 90 days to arrive. Inscribed by Author(s).
