Lots of Briticisms here but you get used to them.  It is written in diary form and that makes it slow at the beginning but once you get into the story it becomes much more interesting and full of a lot of very funny situations that will keep you chuckling.  It  details a period in the life of a 40-ish divorced mother working at Britannia Royal Naval College and training foreign nationals who are training with the Royal Navy where it is Beverly's job to teach them English.  She is very good at her job though she finds herself often in difficult situations such as unable to locate a ladies room in the Middle East with a meeting where women are not normally allowed.  Satisfaction with her job is not her only concern, as she is hopeful that she can land a Navy officer for a husband.  The remainder of the story will provide a rollicking good time.
