Embassy Tales is an intensely personal and perceptive account of Christine Sathiah’s life as a diplomatic wife spanning three decades and nine different countries, where she was witness to historical events and upheavals including war in Cambodia and Perestroika in the USSR. Part memoir part travelogue, Embassy Tales is a vivid kaleidoscope of hilarious moments and tragedy; good people and villains; moving encounters as well as interminably boring cocktail receptions.
