holy tone problems batman… there is a good book somewhere in here but the Bridget-Jones-esque narration is so distracting. Katie Crouch’s EMBASSY WIFE does a far better job of finding humour and absurdity in international development/diplomatic bureaucracy. Especially considering this is so obviously based on a real person (Shamima Begum) who has been denied justice and whose life is at serious risk, the tone of this book honestly feels insensitive
