The Ambassador's Family

<p><strong>The Ambassador's Family </strong></p><p><strong>By</strong></p><p><strong>Darryl Martel</strong><br><br><br>When Edward Halbrook is appointed British Ambassador to Oman he sees it as a chance to rebuild his fractured family after the tragic loss of his eldest son. But leaving behind their Oxfordshire home and moving into the gilded halls of Muscat's embassy is only the beginning of a journey that will test them all.</p><p>For Edward the post is both an honour and a crucible: balancing the demands of diplomacy whispers of scandal and the unforgiving gaze of London. For Maggie his wife Oman thrusts her into a role of unexpected influence where friendship with the Sultan's wife gives her a voice she never thought she'd find again. Their children carry their own burdens James who embraces Oman's beaches and freedom with youthful joy and Clara whose secret bond with a young Omani prince threatens to ignite into a love that could alter both families' futures.</p><p>As scandal brews in the business world and their private lives collide with the politics of state the Halbrooks must choose: retreat into grief and division or stand together as a family. Across desert palaces embassy receptions and nights heavy with secrets they discover what it means to serve not just a nation but one another.</p><p>Sweeping intimate and unforgettable The Ambassador's Family is a story of love and duty of loss and renewal and of how even in the most unlikely of places a broken family can find its way back to wholeness.</p><p><br> </p>
