{"product_id":"diaries-1987-1992","title":"Edwina Currie: Diaries 1987-1992 [2002] hardback","description":"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 a significant publishing event. Like Alan Clark's diaries, they provide an insight into politics at the top, by a writer with an observant eye and a sharp sense of humour. Edwina Currie's honesty, frankness and 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.","brand":"Currie, Edwina","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50934199976275,"sku":"9780316860246","price":27.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":47146789732691,"sku":"XG80316860246","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/currie-edwina-edwina-currie-diaries-1987-1992-2002-hardback-1161111624.jpg?v=1746561919","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/diaries-1987-1992","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
