A Teacher's War 1940-45

A Teacher's War 1940-45 
Few teachers can have had a more exotic career than Margaret Picchiotti, who taught in schools in Southern Rhodesia, Istanbul and Rome in the years immediately prior to the Second World War.

Assembled from letters and diaries written during the war, A Teacher's War opens with an arduous, yet thrilling Christmas in the Belgian Congo. The approach to Lake Kivu in Rwanda and the entrance to the black city of Diyarbakir in eastern Turkey are and the buzzing markets of Istanbul are among other vividly etched portraits. This is a book about travelling and the eccentric characters, stunning landscapes, unnerving situations one encounters, and Margaret Picchiotti relates each with understated candour, against a backdrop of looming hostilities.

Full of insight and wisdom, Teacher's War is a splendid evocation, not only of a world that has vanished, but of the pleasure of discovery.
