Daughters of Britannia: The Lives and Times of Diplomatic Wives es una fascinante exploración de la vida de las esposas de diplomáticos británicos a lo largo de tres siglos. Katie Hickman ofrece una mezcla absorbente de biografía conmovedora e historia social entretenida, revelando los desafíos y triunfos de estas mujeres mientras representaban a Gran Bretaña en rincones lejanos del mundo. A través de cartas, diarios privados y relatos orales, Hickman ilumina el glamour público y la cara privada de la diplomacia, destacando las contribuciones a menudo desconocidas de estas participantes intrépidas.
