An English Lady in Chinese Turkestan (Oxford in Asia… por Lady Catherine Macartney
Enthralling tale of how Lady Macartney conjoured up a corner of a foreign field that is forever England in the gardens of the British Consulate in Kashgar, Chinese Turkestan. The bit where she orders in Chinese takeaway for her dinner party guests is priceless.
