Esprit de Corps: Sketches from Diplomatic Life by Lawrence Durrell

4.0

What is diplomatic life other than an extended and high stakes round of customer service? These vignettes illustrate beautifully the nail-biting world of people-pleasing and representing the Empire. The humour twinkles and sparkles, though I couldn't help but occasionally be filled with sympathy for the poor privileged prisses in the FO.
