Deborah Coddington comes across in her book as a likable interesting woman who has lived a life with a multitudes of experiences. Now settled on a vineyard in Martinborough living the good life with her husband and two dogs, she tells us about her early life with young children living the hippie lifestyle, a little bit about her working as a writer, a little more about her parliamentary years.
Being a couple of decades younger than her, a lot of the name dropping went over my head, as I don't really know the people that many of the pages were devoted to and was a little bored by some of it. I did like the chapters about her animals and pets she has cared for over the years. 2/5
