"The Sunny Side of Diplomatic Life, 1875-1912" by L. de Hegermann-Lindencrone is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the author's experiences as a diplomat's wife during her husband's postings in various cities across Europe and the United States. Through her letters, it likely delves into the intricacies of diplomatic life, societal expectations, and the challenges of navigating a world defined by formality and customs. The opening of the book sets a personal tone through letters addressed to the author's mother, describing her arrival in Washington in 1875, where she is immediately absorbed into the busy life of a diplomat's wife. Lillie recounts amusing incidents about her husband Johan, who is the Danish Minister, and gives a candid glimpse into the intricacies and often humorous nature of social engagements, from etiquette confusion to unique dinners. The letters mix descriptions of formal events with personal anecdotes, showcasing the blend of political importance and personal navigation required in diplomatic life.
