Nadine Dorries was born in Liverpool in the 1950s and raised on a council estate, the daughter of a bus driver. Her first novel, THE FOUR STREETS, was inspired by memories of her childhood, particularly her Irish grandmother who she was very close to.
Nadine trained as a nurse, then followed with a successful career in which she established and then sold her own business. She has been the MP for Mid-Befordshire since 2005 and has three daughters.
Nadine is currently working on her second novel, a sequel to THE FOUR STREETS.
3.5 stars. I have literally finished this book, picked up my phone and seen that Kemi Badenoch has just been announced as the new Tory leader. Just as predicted by this book written 18-24 months ago. I will leave others to draw their own conclusions…
A very engaging book. I had just bought out by Tim Shipman but I decided to read this first. I am glad I did. I thought game of thrones was good fiction but this is the same. Perhaps I will rename some aliases to “little finger” and many of the Lannister’s and so on. Great Read that has changed my perspective on party politics in Britain and the car crash in the Conservative Party
I can only assume that the downvotes are politically motivated but this is a good book and you would think that if the allegations made in it could be factually traduced they would be. It must have taken immense courage to write and for that the author deserves much credit.
No wonder “ they” tried so hard to stop this being published. Initially, I thought it was a marketing ploy, however, as a Boris Johnson fan, Nadine was always going to be unpopular. It’s a shame that too often we run with the herd, presumably because it’s easy and less stressful. Well, I really enjoyed the narrative, gutsy and full of juicy gossip. Well worth the 3 days of reading.
