Book Description
After Margaret Thatcher, Edwina Currie was the second most prominent woman in British politics during the 1980s. Indeed, she was often spoken of as a potential Prime Minister. Her outspokenness and her lively, media-friendly personality won her a much higher profile than her status as a junior minister would otherwise have commanded. When she was forced to resign from the government after warning of the danger signs of salmonella infection in eggs, she was already a national figure. Revealing her four-year affair with former Prime Minister John Major, Edwina's diaries caused a media sensation. A decade on, and now with previously unpublished material, the diaries still provide a remarkable insight into politics at the top by a writer with an observant eye and a sharp sense of humour. Edwina Currie's honesty, her frankness and her courage make these unexpurgated diaries an irresistible read.

Book Description
An extraordinarily vivid portrait of how the world could look - and think - one hundred years from now. It is a place where 'cloning' is not mentioned in polite society, but its influence is everywhere. And whilst there is progress in the battle against ageing and disease, there is also a darker side to the scientific breakthroughs, as Bill Strether, US Ambassador to London, is about to discover...

Book Description
Never far from centre stage, Edwina Currie falls comfortably into that category of celebrity you simply cannot ignore. Her first published diaries explosively revealed an affair with former Prime Minister John Major. This second volume, which begins in 1992 with her refusal to serve in Major's government, is no less revelatory about her colleagues, encounters with others in the public eye and, of course, her extraordinary career. Honest, compulsive and of the moment, this collection covers her life in Parliament up to the election of Blair's Labour government, but more importantly sees Edwina's emergence as a mainstay in the public imagination, first as a bestselling author, then as a commentator, broadcaster, presenter and performer. Shot through with her trademark effervescence and sense of fun, this volume of diaries documents one of the biggest characters in British public life at her saucy, scathing best.

Book Description
Elaine Stalker is one of few women in the House of Commons. Talented and ambitious, she finds it irksome to have to contend with the inadequate facilities, aggressively masculine culture and the sexual harassment. Her new colleagues are Cabinet Minister Edward Bampton, constantly condescending and patronising, and Derek Chatterley, a compulsive womaniser. But there is also Roger Dickson, the new leader of the Party. Between Roger and Elaine there is a strong sexual attraction, one which could jeopardise both their careers ... As always ahead of the headlines, Edwina Currie deals in her second novel with topical issues such as political corruption, racism and the effect on real people of government policies. Packed with authentic detail and laced with sexual intrigue, it gives the reader a special insight into the workings of power.

Book Description
Elaine Stalker, newly elected MP, has worked hard for her election to Westminster. But the unequivocally masculine atmosphere of the House of Commons is a hostile environment for an attractive, ambitious woman and Elaine is disappointed when her talents are ignored. Relishing his powerful role as wheeler-dealer, whip Roger Dickson provides a sympathetic ear for Elaine's frustrations. At first their relationship is strictly professional; but a passion for politics provides an aphrodisiac and late-night sittings offer ample opportunities for discussions of a more private nature. A No. 1 hardcover bestseller on its first appearance, Edwina Currie's A PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIR has gained a compulsive piquancy in the light of her Diaries' publication.

Book Description
Politicians are amongst the most reviled and distrusted of all professions. Nevertheless, honourable men and women do put themselves forward to help run the country, whether out of conviction, altruism, vanity or ambition. Under pressure - from the electorate, from colleagues, from what Harold Macmillan called 'events' - how can they maintain their integrity? How do they learn to anticipate trouble - and to avoid it? When press and public are increasingly bored with the serious parliamentary debate and prefer 'human interest' stores and sleaze, how can individuals in public office maintain a private life without exposure or disgrace? How might they undermine their enemies - or gain on rivals who get to close - and should they? How do their families and loved ones cope - especially when loyalty is under strain. Edwina Currie's third political novel, after the number one bestselling A PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIR and A WOMAN'S PLACE, opens with an election resulting in a victory for a party not dissimilar to New Labour...

Book Description
As the rumours subside and the cheering stops, Elaine Stalker MP watches with a pang of regret as Roger Dickson takes up the reins of government as Prime Minister. She has intimate knowledge of just how competent and decent her ex-lover is, but his new role of necessity curtails their close friendship. Yet Roger recognises Elaine's drive and quickly appoints her Junior Minister in a newly created government department. It is a political hot seat, and one that finds Elaine ruefully concluding that in the corridors of power, a woman's place is usually in the wrong... A powerful sequel to A Parliamentary Affair.

Book Description
Teenage schoolgirl Helen Majinsky and her friend Colette are part of a small circle that entertains hopes of leaving Liverpool through the route of college entrance. They play truant from school to see the Beatles play the cavern and they think of boyfriends. But there are forces as dark as the undertow of the Mersey and Helen's relationship with her admired father, diffident mother and feckless younger brother and their desire to keep their aspiring daughter within the family unit, are an inhibition to her dreams of leaving. It is when Helen meets a handsome American serviceman from the local base at Burtonwood that she realises her schoolgirl evasions are not enough, forcing her to confront awkward realities. Through him she finds the means to break the chains of the old life, and her guide through the hidden dangers of the new.
