Review
'In the battle of the politician's wives, Ffion comes out well on top.' Guardian 'A riveting narrative examination of the dynamic between a man, his mistress, his wife and his daughter. Played out behind the doors of Downing Street, it throws light on the depth of ambition of one of the 20th century's great political machinators!a fascinating story.' Times 'Well--researched and thoughtfully written!she tells the story ably and entertainingly.' Evening Standard 'Much better than the usual books about politicians wives by a political wife. Rather than producing an embellished list of the miserable women who knew Lloyd George, Hague has given us a biography of Lloyd George himself in which a great deal of thought has gone into the business of what it was like to be him and what it was like to have him.' Daily Telegraph 'This well written and intelligent book...tells an involving, multifarious and often poignant tale. It describes to the tee in the process a particular type of man - egomaniacal, brilliant, sexually unscrupulous and crazily risk-taking - frequently found in politics.' Sam Leith, Spectator
