At Biteback we pride ourselves on bringing you books full of
intellect, wisdom, analysis, and general insight into great political events. Well
written, with humour and warmth, we’re prone to a bit of excellent writing. Then
again, we’re also a fan of PICTURES! And VIDEOS!
There are some great pictures in Edwina Currie’s Diaries Volume II: 1992-1997, including one of Edwina channelling Margaret Thatcher on an official visit to Bosnia. We spoke to Edwina about the visit – you can watch the video here – and if you want to find out more about Edwina’s life during the tumultuous period of 1992-1997 get a signed copy of her Diaries here.
Honest, compulsive and of the moment, the Diaries cover Edwina’s 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.
