{"product_id":"9780316860246-secondhand-diaries-1987-1992","title":"Diaries 1987-1992","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":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027679781083,"sku":"9780316860246-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/de20375b-64e0-4c35-9f36-9fb97111017e.jpg?v=1785091620","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780316860246-secondhand-diaries-1987-1992","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
