Of course, exile had its compensations, and as Haylock moved from Baghdad to Tokyo, Thailand to Morocco, he encountered memorable characters like Agatha Christie, Duncan Grant, Francis King and Robin Maugham; witnessed the stormy preludes to the upheavals in Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Cyprus; and fell in love with more than one pair of dark-brown eyes."--Back cover.
