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. The second volume, released today, begin in 1992 with her refusal to
serve in Major’s government, and are 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.
