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 A decade on, and now with previously unpublished material, the diaries still provide a remarkable insight into politics at the top by a writer with an observant eye and a sharp sense of humour.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.

A Parliamentary Affair

By: Edwina Currie

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 frustrated when her talents are ignored. Relishing his powerful role as wheeler-dealer, whip Roger Dickson provides a sympathetic ear for Elaine. At first their relationship is strictly professional; but a shared passion for politics proves an aphrodisiac and late-night sittings offer ample opportunities for discussions of a more private nature...

Edwina Currie

Diaries 1992-1997

By: Edwina Currie

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.

The Ambassador

By: Edwina Currie

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...

Woman's Place

By: E Currie

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.

This Honourable House

By: Edwina Currie

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...

Diaries 1987-1992

By: Edwina Currie

In the late 1980s, when she began keeping a diary, Edwina Currie was the second most prominent woman in British politics - after Margaret Thatcher. 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. The appearance of these diaries is an important publishing event. Like Alan Clark's diaries, they 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. Their revelation of her four-year affair with former Prime Minister John Major has already been a media sensation.

A Woman's Place

By: Edwina Currie

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.

Chasing Men

By: Edwina Currie

Hetty Clarkson is a typical modern woman: attractive, romantic and single. Her situation is the same as that of thousands of twenty- and thirty-somethings arriving in London each year, with one small exception. She is old enough to be their mother. It wasn't meant to be like this, but blame that on her philandering husband. When she caught him cheating with a younger woman, Hetty's traditional views of marriage hit the buffers. One divorce later, and Hetty is discovering that the etiquette books for the mid-life single woman haven't been written yet... In turn sexy and poignant, Chasing Men lifts the lid on how Hetty copes and finds contentment. In an age when mid-life singles are the fastest growing group in society, Edwina Currie has delivered a terrific and timely novel.

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.

Chasing Men

By: Edwina Currie

In an age when the fastest growing group in society is the single middle-aged, the divorced, the separated and the never-married, Edwina Currie's new novel is spot-on. Their swelling ranks include some who are terrified of singledom and others liberated by it; ageing Lotharios, happy bachelors of both sexes and every orientation, and - increasingly - smart women determined to be more than pretty adjuncts to selfish men. But they're not chasing the same outcomes as poor, man-hungry Bridget Jones. Not for them the home mortgage, marriage and children: they've been there, done that, and got the scar tissue to prove it. Hetty Clarkson is an attractive but rather empty-headed woman who once worked in TV. She believed marriage was for life and her lifestyle was traditional. She comes home one day to find her philandering husband in bed with another woman. Her cosy, complacent world implodes: nothing remains. Driven beyond endurance, she divorces him, only to face the future in great trepidation. Her subsequent adventures are hilarious, poignant and bang up-to-date: Edwina Currie's Chasing Men.
