Description
A Bulgarian ambassador's quest for social standing takes an unexpected turn in this witty and insightful novel. With the help of a shady PR agency, he gains access to London's high society, but chaos ensues at the embassy's lower levels. Criminal gangs lurk in the kitchens, police are on the hunt for missing ducks from Hyde Park, and a Princess Diana impersonator cleans the floors - all while the ambassador struggles to do his job. Alek Popov masterfully weaves together these plot threads into a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of post-communist society. With its keen eye for detail and sharp sense of humour, this novel is reminiscent of European comic literature from the likes of P.G. Wodehouse and Roald Dahl.
