{"product_id":"9781849544511","title":"Edwina Currie: Diaries 1987-1992","description":"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 A decade on, and now with previously unpublished material, the diaries still provide a remarkable insight into politics at the top by a writer with an observant eye and a sharp sense of humour.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.","brand":"Biteback Publishing, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140309238000,"sku":"9781849544511","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849544511_p0.jpg?v=1763752280","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849544511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
