Reviews

Elegantly written...what makes Brenda Maddox's biography so compelling is the interweaving of the personal and political. Perhaps the most rounded profile yet of this unique woman. - Birmingham PostThere are new insights...Maddox paints a vivid picture of the very different world of a provincial town in the 1930s. Equally vivid is the account of Thatcher's first attempt to enter parliament at the 1950 general election. - Financial TimesThe story of Alderman Roberts's daughter may hardly be new but Maddox tells it with pace and verve...(she) is good, too, on Thatcher's Oxford career. This is a racily paced tale of what is essentially the private side of a public career. - Anthony Howard, The Sunday TimesA good read. Its descriptions of the affection between Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis and of the support he gave her are accurate and sympathetic. - Norman Tebbit, Evening Standard
