Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the social and personal experiences of the author, who traveled with her husband, Lord Dufferin, to diplomatic posts in Russia and Turkey in the late 19th century. It offers a captivating glimpse into the lives of ambassadors and their families at this time, including formal receptions and protocol. The author astutely comments on the social and political changes unfolding around her, from the tension between progressives and traditionalists in Russia to the plight of women and children in the aftermath of the Balkan War. The book also provides an interesting contrast between the era's rigid diplomatic conventions, such as strict mourning requirements, and the author's independent spirit, offering valuable insights into both the diplomatic world and the unique personal dimensions of those who lived within it.
