The Times 'Well-researched and thoughtfully written!she tells the story ably and entertaingly.' Evening Standard 'Fluent, balanced and broadly sympathetic!where Hague does have both a new persepective and new material is in her treatment of Margaret Lloyd George, reclaiming Margaret as a significant political figure.' Independent 'Impressively researched...riveting.' Sunday Times 'Much better than the usual books about political wives...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...a wise and measured assessment.' Daily Telegraph 'An engaging portrait...an absorbing read.' Guardian 'Well-researched and thoughtfully written.' Scotsman 'Hague has much to bring to the task of recovering their stories including her knowledge of the Welsh language and culture, an accessible style, and a sympathetic appreciation of "the pain and the privilege" of being married to a prominent politician...compelling.' Literary Review 'This well written and intelligent book...tells an involving, multifarious and often poignant tale.' Spectator '[This] well-researched and thoughtful portrait follows the triangular affair, often conducted under one roof, with rare empathy.' Sunday Business Post 'A totally absorbing tale.' Oxford TImes
