From one of the book boxes that Moem sent to me. I used to like Sheldon's books. It has been a while since I read one, so I intend to read this one before sending it out.

An ordinary teacher becomes US Ambassador to an Iron Curtain country. Quite unbelievable ..... But if there is any truth in it no wonder the world is in such a mess (

I didn't like this one as much as The Sky is Falling. I wasn't expecting it to be so heavy in the politics at the beginning, and I didn't really find Mary to be a compelling character. I was expecting someone strong and smart, and once she got to Washington she was turned into, well, a naive hayseed. I didn't buy it -- you don't get anywhere in academia by being naive. There were a couple of interesting twists, but if this were the first Sidney Sheldon I read, I wouldn't seek out any more. (
