This beautiful botanical art book is a dazzling and wondrous celebration of Banksia menziesii, commonly known as Firewood or Menzies' Banksia, by one of Australia's best botanical artists. After many field trips and long observation of the flowering plant, Philippa Nikulinsky has created a series of detailed drawings and paintings that record the entire cycle of this species, capturing it in all its beauty.
When Jay's husband lands a diplomatic job in Warsaw, she jumps at the opportunity to escape her predictable life in Canberra for a three-year adventure in the heart of central Europe.
Jay shelves her corporate wardrobe and throws herself into life as a diplomatic wife. Between glamorous cocktail parties and ambassadorial shenanigans, Jay sets out to get to know quirky, difficult, fascinating Poland, with its impenetrable language and sometimes unfathomable customs.
It's a challenge even for an intrepid traveller with a willing heart. Not to mention a marriage that increasingly doesn't look as if it will survive its third Polish winter.
