Operation Oboe

(2003)
A novel by

 
 
A Brahms concert in Hamburg in 1912 leads to romance. An escape behind enemy lines and a traumatic voyage follow. A second eventful voyage began a diplomatic career in the Second World War in West Africa and revealed a dark family secret. Throughout these decades of conflict and strife an oboe plays unaccompanied. Its notes would linger to entertain an independent Gold Coast

In an era when a growing number of women were appointed diplomats in many parts of the world, they were not employed by the British and Commonwealth Office until 1946. Fleur was oblivious to this discrimation and relished the challenge her unusual background gave her.
