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.

Bombs, car crashes, and trigger-happy guards

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.
