WHO GOES HOME

by Maurice Edelman ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A wise and worldly perspective of British politics which wilts the carnation in the morning coat and ticks off personalities and procedures with a professionally knowledgeable accuracy. On toast here are John Vaughan, whose father had bought into politics and bequeathed him a tradition he did not want to follow ; Helen, his wife, ambitious and attractive and looking for the gratifications she does not get from John in Tony Spencer, a Lobby journalist and a rather vicious sort; Michael Erskine, a Minister on the way to a higher post when a brief indiscretion in the States is used as a means of preferential treatment for American business interests, and later inflated to a scandal of serious proportions. And although Erskine is acquitted, his wife-who cannot live with the shadow of suspicion the investigation has stirred, suicides, and Erskine gives up his career...An adroit to acerb commentary on public life and private interests and a well sustained entertainment.
