| Summary: | The wife of the Canadian ambassador to Hungary draws on her 25 years of experience, hundreds of interviews, and her education in political science to explore the problems faced by diplomats and their families, such as new environments, different cultural norms, and endless language lessons. She also relates the factors that make some thrive, some survive, and some fail; and how some large private companies are making life easier for their international teams.
