The Ambassador’s Offer (2024) is a sweeping historical novel set in the vibrant, multi-layered Karachi of the late 1950s. When young Austrian diplomat Brigitta arrives at the embassy, she expects routine—what she finds is a country on the brink of transformation, and a love that challenges borders. As the Indus Waters Treaty teeters between hope and collapse, Brigitta becomes entangled in the high-stakes world of diplomacy, secrets, and resistance and has to make a decision that might change her life fundamentally.Published in 2024 in both German and English, The Ambassador’s Offer has received excellent reviews on social media, Amazon, and Goodreads, and was honored with the International Impact Book Awards for Historical Fiction.
