{"product_id":"9781917837224","title":"Culture Shock \u0026 Canapes : Adventures of a Diplomatic Wife in Africa by Pamela O'Cuneen","description":"War-zones and witchcraft, exotic food and disastrous dinner parties, Culture Shock \u0026amp; Canap?s explores the hidden world behind high Embassy walls.   A young Australian girl from London struggles to adapt to diplomatic life among the royal courtiers of Swaziland, in post-independence Zimbabwe and in Angola amid the gunfire of the civil war. She accompanies her husband, the striding KJ, on his African postings together with two English bull terriers and a large, redoubtable African tabby cat. As each country unfolds its challenges and discoveries she shares her delight, her wry humour, and keen sense of the ridiculous. In a darker mood we follow KJ in Somalia during the famine and in Rwanda after the genocide.   The book will appeal to travellers; to those who have worked overseas and coped with culture shock. The writer, a psychologist, delves into history and sociology, revels in the bizarre and includes recipes collected along the way.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313195823477,"sku":"9781917837224","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781917837224.jpg?v=1762825895","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781917837224","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
