Description: Peter Parker, a young British Foreign Office diplomat in Ceauşescu's Romania, gets involved with his boss' secretary and makes her pregnant. Peter's efforts to control his rapidly deteriorating work and family situation dissolve into near farce, reaching a climax at a Reception in the High Commissioner's Residence.
Review Quotes:
Praise for George Edmonds-Brown's book of short stories, Diplomats, Spies and Assassins.
'These stories, written from an insider's perspective by a long-term diplomat in Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, are both illuminating and enjoyable. Highly recommended.'
Andrew Rosenheim, author of The Accidental Agent.
