Book Synopsis



"The Ambassador's Offer gave me a fascinating view into embassy life in Pakistan in the late 1950s. Its intrigue made it a real page turner."

-Marian Fraser.



In the breakout debut by author Martina M. Woebcken, a young female diplomat in her search for freedom and independence faces personal challenges, political turmoil, and star-crossed love in Karachi, Pakistan's late 1950s.

Vienna 1958. Brigitta receives an unexpected job offer from her superior at Vienna's Department of the Interior to work for the Austrian Ambassador of Pakistan whose former secretary has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. She accepts on a whim, boards an airplane for the first time, and meets the fascinating Amira who promises to show her Karachi.

Brigitta's new life in Karachi absorbs her - body and soul. She's enraptured by her challenging work for the Ambassador, the dazzling parties with international diplomats and dignitaries, and soon falls head-over-heels for charismatic student leader Yusuff who fights against the militaryregime. When Brigitta finds out that not everything is as it should be and that behind the Indus Water treaty negotiations a blackmailing scheme is lurking, and that her new friend Amira has something to hide, she puts herself in jeopardy. Brigitta must make a fundamental decision: abandon her love, betray her loyalty towards the Ambassador, or break the promise she made to herself when she left Vienna?

Inspired by real experiences, and following a fast moving plot and multi-faceted characters, The Ambassador's Offer portrays a young woman's unusual journey to independence. Readers of historical fiction that enjoy diplomatic services, politics, foreign affairs, and suspense will devour author Martina M. Woebcken's debut novel.
