In the 1980s, Edwina Currie was the best-known face in British politics after Margaret Thatcher. Indeed, she was often spoken of as a potential prime minister. Her outspokenness and her lively, no-nonsense personality won her a much higher profile than her status as junior minister would otherwise have commanded. When she was forced to resign from the Government after warning of the dangers of salmonella infection in eggs, she was already a national figure.
These diaries are a remarkable insight into life 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 the unexpurgated diaries an irresistible read.
