so-soInteresting to read about a time when your worth was measured by which government office you worked for. For the record, the office of Weights & Measures was the bomb; Internal Navigation not so much. I‘ve read 4 of his novels. They haven‘t had as much fun & criminality as a typical Dickens novel, but they provide a window on the anxieties & calamities of the time. Think I‘ve had my fill of his take on stocks and broken wedding plans.
pickAnother brief but engrossing instalment in the saga of The Slough House ‘slow horses‘, although Jackson Lamb is conspicuous by his absence.

Fascinated by Tom Fletcher‘s insights into modern diplomacy in a world driven by social media. #tomfletcher #thenakeddiplomar #politics #diplomacy #currentlyreading #currentaffairs #civilservice #officials #headsofstate #diplomats #analysis
