Anne Sinclair Mehdevi is one of those rare women who is adventure-prone and who has the wit and charm to write about her experiences. Of course, it isn't every girl from Wichita who marries a Persian; who has her first child unexpectedly in a primitive Mexican town; who wanders into the Russian zone of Austria by accident; who innocently becomes involved in the Vienna black market; who has to adapt herself to a specially imported French mam'selle in New York; who is temporarily bewitched by a romantic, guitar-playing hotel keeper in Majorca; or who introduces her children to the mysteries of the bull ring.  (#00001069)
