Vodka and Apple Juice
Vodka and Apple Juice: Travels of an Undiplomatic Wife in Poland | Jay Martin
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
When Jay's husband lands a diplomatic job in Warsaw, she jumps at the chance to escape a predictable life in Canberra for adventure in the heart of central Europe. From glamorous cocktail parties and dining with presidents, to snowy sleigh rides and drinking vodka in smoky bars, Jay is thrown into all that embassy life has to offer. She comes to realize that three things in Poland are certain: death, taxes, and that shop assistants won't have any change. What is less certain is whether her marriage will survive its third Polish winter.

1. If I want to keep the right to vote, I have to exercise the responsibility to vote.
2. My husband bought some strawberry apple juice at the store, and it‘s delicious. I can imagine it would also be good in a cocktail.

I enjoyed this novel from Australian Jay Martin documenting her three year stay in Poland. Her husband Tom, who was Australian‘s diplomat in Warsaw was supremely busy why Martin struggled with her years “not working”, traveling, learning Polish, and keeping their marriage together. Martin has a good sense of humor and this was a quick read.
