Diplomatic Incidents by Cherry Denman
The hilarious memoirs of an undiplomatic wife. This is Cherry Denman's witty take on her life trailing husband Charlie round some of the most godforsaken outposts of the world. Illustrated by brilliantly funny cartoons of diplomatic life, this is a collection of clever and very funny tales of global misunderstanding.
'Charming.. delightful, a collection of lively, jolly anecdotes [which] can be dipped into as and when you fancy. Cherry is smashing, high-spirited, fond of a good joke, and she can be blissfully rude' -- Daily Mail 'Deliciously rude, scandalously funny and crammed with quite interesting bits' -- John Lloyd 'This diplomat's wife reveals the riotous truth about their perilous postings' -- Mail on Sunday 'Denman's accuracy and effusive wit ... had me cheering out loud' -- The Times 'I can honestly say it's funniest book that I've read for a long time ... Cherry has obviously revelled in her life abroad, diplomatic or not. Read the book and enjoy' -- Oxford Times
Almost educated at St Teresa's Convent, Effingham, Cherry Denman went on to study at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford and at the Royal College of Art. An acclaimed artist and illustrator, she has written and illustrated several previous books including A Modern Book of Hours and The History Puzzle. Cherry is married with two children and, when not abroad, lives in London, where she tries to ignore the glazed looks of her loyal friends as she recounts her tales of typhoons and tarantulas, and pretends not to care when they assume her West African voodoo fetish earrings come from Accessorize. And how was she supposed to know that samphire was the new broccoli?
