Diplomatic Incidents
At the beginning of the course, Sam asked us to visit the library and to choose
some titles of travel literature writing books to discuss them together. I found many interesting books but there was one book which I really liked and could not stop myself from buying it. That book is called Diplomatic Incidents by Cherry Denman.
I just finished reading the book and I am going to give a brief review about it.
This book represents the many real-life stories about life on the move that made Cherry think her life experiences had what it takes to be published. It talkes about the grit of living abroad as a Diplomat's wife, and Cherry delivers with one crazy funny story after the next.
Basically, the book describes the hilarious memoirs of an diplomatic wife Illustrated by brilliantly funny cartoons of diplomatic life and a collection of clever and very funny tales of global misunderstanding.
I think the book turned out to be a perfect holiday book as well as it featured exotic locations and a little mini-tour around Europe. It also was very light-hearted and entertaining. The journalist and one of the other diplomatic wives were characters that made me laugh out loud.
I strongly recommend this book for people who simply want to laugh :D
