The Ambassador's Wife's Tale by Julia Miles
For 28 years, Julia was a diplomatic spouse, juggling a growing family while supporting the demands of her husbands role. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes terrifying, she reveals the realities of life as an ambassadors wife most memorably under house arrest in Tripoli following the shooting of PC Yvonne Fletcher outside the Libyan Embassy in London
`Suspenseful and gripping..the last days of the Libya posting are as breathless as scenes in the Oscar-winning film Argo’ Daily Mail, `Julia Miles describes with accuracy as well as with fine humour the varied, challenging and daunting tasks that wives of diplomats have to manage, often under very difficult circumstances’ Express Tribune
Julia Miles has worked as a social worker, probation officer and psychotherapist, but her most prominent role has been as a diplomat's wife. She married Oliver Miles in 1968, and accompanied him on diplomatic postings to Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Athens and Libya, where he was ambassador during the diplomatic crisis following the murder in London of WPC Yvonne Fletcher. Their final posting together was in Athens, where her husband was ambassador.
