Cherry Denman offers her witty take on 25 years trailing husband Charlie, a UK diplomat, around some of the most farflung outposts of the world. Describing herself as a reluctant traveler, she shares adventurous tales of cultural collision, sparing herself no embarrassment. From wearing a gold lamé Mao suit at a diplomatic ball in China to catching her husband Charlie trying to escape out the bathroom window at a party, she relates one riotous, globetrotting escapade after another. Illustrated by Cherry's own wonderfully funny cartoons of diplomatic life, this is a collection of clever and very funny tales of global misunderstanding.
