Smith is also famous for her role as joint majority shareholder at Norwich City F.C. Her partner in the shareholding is her husband, Michael Wynn-Jones.

Reviews

[Timothy James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although it is beginning to be a little dated, this is a really good set of daily readings for the Advent season. We will certainly read it again in a future year.
