Katie Crouchs Embassy Wife is a satirical page-turner following two women abroad searching for the truth about their husbands--and their country

Katie Crouchs Embassy Wife introduces us to Persephone Wilder, a displaced genius posing as the wife of an American diplomat in Namibia. She takes her job as a representative of her country seriously, and comes up with an intricate set of rules to survive such problems as: how to dress in hundred-degree weather without showing too much skin, how not to look drunk at embassy functions, and how to eat roasted oryx with grace. She also suspects her husband is not actually the ambassadors general counsel, but a secret agent in the CIA. Ever the embassy wife, she takes the new trailing spouse, Amanda Evans, under her wing.

Amanda Evans has just arrived in Namibia, mere weeks after giving up her Silicon Valley job, as her husband, Mark, has accepted a Fulbright. But once they arrive in the sub-Saharan desert, it becomes clear that Mark, who lived in Namibia two decades earlier, had other reasons for returning. Their marriage, which seemed solid in the safety of home, feels tenuous in the glaring heat of the Kalahari. Mark, it seems, has secrets born twenty years ago, and this journey is actually a quest to find a woman he left behind. When Amandas daughter becomes involved an actual international conflict, lines are drawn in the sand, and it is clear that her own government wont stand up for her or her daughter.

Propulsive and provocative, Embassy Wife compellingly explores the limits of human resilliency and loyalty, asking: How far will Amanda go to keep her family intact? How much corruptness can Persephone purposefully ignore? And what, exactly, does it mean to be an American abroad when you dont like your country anymore?
