About

Trapped in the austerity of post-war London, 20-year-old Valerie Barnes yearned for the good times. Then two chance meetings catapulted her into a high-flying career at the newly formed United Nations in Geneva. Valerie became one of the first simultaneous interpreters, working in exotic locales and rubbing shoulders with prime ministers and presidents. In those days, the United Nations was new and its staff were convinced that if they got everything right there would be no more war.

At the same time she was juggling a Swiss chalet home, three children and an unfaithful husband. Valerie's gift for storytelling makes this a lively, funny, utterly delightful memoir.
