An Officer and a Gentlewoman by Heloise Goodley

An Officer and a Gentlewoman by Heloise Goodley

An Officer and a Gentlewoman is the first female perspective on Sandhurst and the making of a female British Army officer.

Compelling...often hilarious, sometimes touching, always riveting. * Dail Mail *
An in the trenches view of what it's like to transition from a civilian's life to that of a soldier... an engaging fly on the wall view. * Independent on Sunday *
Goodley offers a new spin on the Army memoir: the female Army memoir. Recounting her journey from City girl to Sandhurst cadet to officer in Afghanistan, Goodley's sense of humour shines through as she throws light on the more bizarre aspects of peculiar male institution. This is contrasted to a sensitivity to the horrors of life on the front line. * Mslexia *

Heloise Goodley was a City banker before she made an impulsive decision to join the Army in 2007 and undertake officer training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. She has since completed two operational tours of Afghanistan and currently holds the rank of Captain as Adjutant of an Apache helicopter regiment. She still can't march or shine shoes.
