Book description
Dave's mobile went - poor Cleggsy, wanting to know what the Queen was
like. "Incredibly nervous," Dave said. "But Sam soon put
her at her ease."' We have heard, it seems, every opinion on the
rise of the coalition save one: that of the new Prime Minister's wife,
Samantha. Star journalist Catherine Bennett has stepped in to give us a
glimpse of Sam Cam's first year in Downing Street. What to do about
Cherie's nightmare granite'n'pine kitchen? How can Dave's
rationingy-austerity-depressiony vibe be harnessed for the luxury goods
market? Is there a polite strategy for avoiding Miriam Clegg's bookclub?
