Sarah Vine

How Not To Be A Political Wife

Journalist, former political insider and wife of Michael Gove, Sarah Vine spills the beans from her memoir.

For nearly two decades Sarah Vine was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise and fall of the ‘Cameroon’ style of Conservatism. She reveals how politics not only shaped her personal life, from glamorous Ibiza holidays to fraught confrontations at government events and she reflects on class, ambition, loyalty, and the emotional cost of living in the political spotlight. “I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer – via my journalism – as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if I’m honest) of frontline politics.”
