About the Book
My Life in Diplomacy is a personal memoir written by Gaetana Enders between 2011 and 2014, the year she died. She left behind an almost complete manuscript, with sufficient notes to complete the project on her behalf. She was determined to leave behind a portrait of her life at her husband Tom's side during their thirty years of devoted and exceptional diplomatic service. She also provides in an Epilogue, an account of the life she created for herself for the 19 years she lived on her own after his passing.
Gaetana, mother, grandmother, godmother and friend extraordinaire, was an avid and prolific writer her entire life. During her career as an accomplished journalist she wrote numerous interviews illuminating courage, passion, and humanity in the lives of others. Her own life she recorded in letters, notes, and postcards, scattered among us all around the world. She was just as active recording favorite moments in snapshots everywhere she traveled. Most of them have been beautifully arranged in dozens of albums, so we can find our way.
Gaetana was an enthusiastic storyteller, revealing as she shared her adventures a passion for beauty in all its forms, a love of humanity, and a strong attraction to exotic people and places. Gaetana's memory was acute and precise to the very end. How she could remember in such detail a life so vast and rich in experiences, remains a mystery.
She left this memoir for all of us, and for those she did not yet know.
