Daughters of Britannia, 1st of 20 [15min]

The life of a diplomat's wife is far from exciting or idyllic, as this personal perspective proves. In Daughters of Britannia: The Lives and Times of Diplomatic Wives, Katie Hickman, the daughter of a British diplomat, draws on letters and diaries of diplomats' wives and daughters to explore the private side behind the public glamour of 300 years of British diplomacy.
