Caviar for Breakfast is the extraordinary true story of Felicity Heathcote, an psychologist turned Irish diplomatic wife, who found herself in Tehran at the height of revolution.

What begins as her husband's lonely assignment to reopen the abandoned Irish Embassy quickly becomes a five-year odyssey of survival, courage, and humour in the midst of chaos.

Felicity's journey takes readers through:

  • The Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War
  • Life as one of the few Westerners left in Tehran
  • Bombs, car crashes, and trigger-happy guards
  • Adopting a premature baby in impossible circumstances
  • Adventures across Russia, India, and the Middle East

Told with wit and candour, Caviar for Breakfast captures not only the perils of revolution but also the resilience, absurdities, and deep humanity found along the way.

Perfect for readers of memoirs, women's adventure stories, and Middle Eastern history, this book offers a rare window into a vanished world.
