Roses Down the Barrel of a Gun by Jo Seaman
A memoir about challenges, uncertainties, danger - and numerous humorous incidents - through the eyes of a young British woman living and working in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, before, during and after the Rose Revolution of 2003.
"Wow, what a story!; Roses down the Barrel of a Gun is an incredible memoir of one British woman’s experience working and living in a tumultuous GeorgiaIn addition to not knowing much about Georgia, I’m also unfamiliar with the work carried out by foreign embassies and initiatives like the British Council. I enjoyed finding out about the exhibitions and performances and I think that this book highlights the vital importance of the arts to society. The book is a fascinating insight into a country that I knew little about and I highly recommend this book." LoveReading (the UK’s leading book recommendation website); “Are you looking for a masterclass in running an office in a foreign country with 18 hour-per-day power cuts and random gunfire in the street; or a love story with tears and laughter; or tales of a Revolution which might have ended in a bloodbath – but didn’t? If so, read this book! It’s not fiction. It all happened!!!” Chris Lakeman Fraser;“A beautifully crafted tale that intertwines the true story of a little reported revolution, the workings of British diplomacy, and a good old-fashioned love story. A great read.” Adrian Paul;
