The most
wickedly indiscreet and elegant political memoirs since those of former Tory Minister Alan Clark (Mail on Sunday) These are the
sharpest and most revealing political diaries since Alan Clark's (Simon Hoggart Guardian) The best first - hand account of the Blair years so far (Andy McSmith Independent 2009-03-13) A great read, more Alan Clark than Tony Benn, full of acute and dry
observation, especially on the lower end of ministerial life.
From the Orange Prize - nominated author of The
Observations comes a beautifully conjured and
wickedly sharp tale of art and deception in nineteenth - century Scotland.
