Little did she realise when she was a hairdresser in Hull called Pauline Tilston when she married John Prescott in 1961 that her life would change forever in years to come when pushed to centre stage as the wife of one of the key political players in England. The travelling and lifestyle were enviable trappings of her marriage to a man who became Deputy Prime Minister, but her world was turned upside down when her husband confessed to a 2 year affair with his diary secretary – the the news broke.
This 304 page hardback book is warm and illuminating yet also incredibly sad in parts – not least when referring to the son she was forced to give up for adoption many years previously.

Being lucky enough to have children that are still young enough to want me to read to before bedtime, I came across this book by chance. Not only did my son look forward to each new chapter every night, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story too. The last couple of chapters in particular were so exciting that we couldn’t wait for it to be bedtime!
Without spoiling the fun, this book is about a young boy called Tom who is sent to stay with his Aunt and Uncle for a while, and whilst lying in bed at night he hears the old grandfather clock downstairs chime. Unbelievably the clock chimes 13 times, so Tom rushes downstairs to investigate and finds himself in the garden where he sees some other children – but they can’t see him, with the exception of Hatty who becomes Tom’s friend. Are Hatty and the others ghosts, or is Tom a ghost? Read this delightful book to find out.
