A Woman's Place — Edwina Currie

As the rumours subside and the cheering stops, Elaine Stalker MP watches with a pang of regret as Roger Dickson takes up the reins of government as Prime Minister. She has intimate knowledge of just how competent and decent her ex-lover is, but his new role of necessity curtails their close friendship. Yet Roger recognises Elaine's drive and quickly appoints her Junior Minister in a newly created government department. It is a political hot seat, and one that finds Elaine ruefully concluding that in the corridors of power, a woman's place is usually in the wrong... A powerful sequel to A Parliamentary Affair.
