This personal account covers the health of the British people between 1986 and 1988, politics, insights into the workings of the Whitehall machine and a look at the minds of mandarins and their ministers. Edwina Currie also reveals her thoughts on her period in office, during the challenges and crises on subjects from AIDS to breast cancer, from welfare to woolly hats, aiming to show what it was like to be a minister in the Thatcher government and how policy is really made. It will be of interest to anyone concerned about health - their own, that of their friends and family, and that of the nation - and to those who are intrigued by the phenomenon of Edwina Currie herself.

When Bill Strether is sent by the US President to represent his country in London, he comes to realise the full breathtaking extent of the official genetic programme, and finds it impossible to condemn.

She's Leaving Home

Romance

In the Europe of 100 years from now, the European Union is the supreme leader of the free world. Ambassador Bill Strether is sent by the US President to the UK to represent his country, where fundamentalists have banned the medical advances in genetic cloning taken for granted in his new home. Although he harbors doubts about its ethics, he finds the official genetic program breathtaking and impossible to condemn.

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.
