Writing about the Assembly and the tortuous route through the period between the Good Friday Agreement being signed in 1998 and the setting up of the Assembly and its suspensions, Ms Purdy captures the intimate details that do not make it onto the evening news bulletins. The details that show our elected politicians are real human beings, that they are more complex than the tribal utterances they are forced to pedal to protect their political base. This is not just a book for the political obsessives, it is a book for people who enjoy a story well told. Ms Purdy originally aimed to produce 60,000 words after a friend tempted her to commit to a book. Two and a half years late and weighing in at over 200,000 words, the result is time well spent researching, cross checking and sifting through the memories of all the key players during the time.
