{"product_id":"culture-shock-canapes-pamela-ocuneen-9781917837224","title":"Culture Shock \u0026 Canapes","description":"War-zones and witchcraft, exotic food and disastrous dinner parties, Culture Shock \u0026amp; Canapés explores the hidden world behind high Embassy walls. A young Australian girl from London struggles to adapt to diplomatic life among the royal courtiers of Swaziland, in post-independence Zimbabwe and in Angola amid the gunfire of the civil war. She accompanies her husband, the striding KJ, on his African postings together with two English bull terriers and a large, redoubtable African tabby cat. As each country unfolds its challenges and discoveries she shares her delight, her wry humour, and keen sense of the ridiculous. In a darker mood we follow KJ in Somalia during the famine and in Rwanda after the genocide. The book will appeal to travellers; to those who have worked overseas and coped with culture shock. The writer, a psychologist, delves into history and sociology, revels in the bizarre and includes recipes collected along the way.","brand":"Chiselbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50826629972256,"sku":"9781917837224","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781917837224.jpg?v=1781534508","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/culture-shock-canapes-pamela-ocuneen-9781917837224","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
