Many commentators have described the accusations as a "revenge job" by Ashcroft, who was not offered a senior role in government when Cameron came to power in In the months immediately following his resignation from the post of Prime Minister, a number of commentators gave negative evaluations of Cameron's premiership. The University of Leeds ' survey of post-War Prime Ministers, which collected the views of 82 academics specialising in the history and politics of post-war Britain, ranked Cameron as the third-worst Prime Minister since , ranking above only Alec Douglas-Home and . All appointments post-premiership have to be approved by the UK government advisory committee. In addition to the two posts above they also approved the following positions: []. Cameron maintained a low profile following his resignation as Prime Minister and the subsequent negotiations. In January , following 's defeat in the House of Commons over her draft withdrawal agreement, Cameron gave a rare interview to reporters outside his house in , saying he backed May's Brexit deal with the EU and did not regret calling the referendum. He confessed "Every single day I think about it, and the fact that we lost, and the consequences, and the things that could have been done differently, and I worry desperately". Months following 's election as Prime Minister, Cameron began criticising Johnson's Brexit strategy, including his decision to prorogue parliament ahead of the Brexit deadline of 31 October and the removal of the whip from Conservative MPs who voted to block a no- deal Brexit. Additionally, he accused Johnson, as well as Michael Gove , of behaving "appallingly" during the referendum campaign of In January , several news outlets reported that Cameron's political memoir, including an account of his time in office, was more than three-quarters written. In May , HarperCollins released the book's title and release date: , published in hardback, ebook and radio on 19 September. Cameron made a cameo in the BBC television programme Top Gear's India Special , where he tells the trio of Jeremy Clarkson , James May , and Richard Hammond to "stay away from India" after initially denying the group's request to improve economic relations with India in a letter and suggested that they mend fences with Mexico. It was then David and Samantha's romance started. They were married in The Camerons have had four children. Their first, Ivan Reginald Ian, was born on 8 April in and Fulham , London, with a rare combination of cerebral palsy and a form of severe epilepsy called Ohtahara syndrome , requiring round-the-clock care. Recalling the receipt of this news, Cameron was quoted as saying: "The news hits you like a freight train You are depressed for a while because you are grieving for the difference between your hopes and the reality. But then you get over that, because he's wonderful. Her third given name, Endellion, is taken from the village of St Endellion near where the Camerons were holidaying. In early May , the Camerons decided to enrol their daughter Nancy at a state primary school. For three years before that they had been attending its associated church, St Mary Abbots , [] near the Cameron family home in . On 8 September , it was announced that Cameron would miss Prime Minister's Questions in order to fly to southern France to see his father, Ian Cameron, who had suffered a stroke with coronary complications.

In , Cameron made a speech in which he described extremist Islamic organisations and the as "mirror images" to each other, both preaching "creeds of pure hatred". In September , after the election of as Labour leader, Cameron called the party a "threat" to British national and economic security, on the basis of Corbyn's defence and fiscal policies. In an interview on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in , Cameron said that he supported the decision of the then Labour Government to go to war in Iraq , and said that he thought supporters should "see it through". In , he oversaw the withdrawal of British soldiers from Iraq. He repeatedly called for the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war to conclude and publish its findings, saying "People want to know the truth". Cameron was a strong advocate of increased ties between India and the United Kingdom, describing Indian—British relations as the "New Special Relationship " in In October , as Narendra Modi rose to prominence in India, the UK rescinded its boycott of the then- Gujarat state Chief Minister over religious riots in Gujarat in that left more than 2, dead, [] and in November , Cameron commented that he was "open" to meeting Modi. While Leader of the Conservative Party , Cameron was accused of reliance on "old-boy networks", [] and conversely attacked by his party for the imposition of selective shortlists of women and ethnic minority prospective parliamentary candidates. Some of Cameron's senior appointments, such as George Osborne as Chancellor of the Exchequer , are former members of the Bullingdon Club. Michael Gove conceded it was "ridiculous" how many fellow Cabinet ministers were old Etonians, though he placed the blame on the failings of the state education system rather than Cameron. Following poor results in the May local elections after a difficult few months for the government, with Labour increasing its lead in the polls, there were concerns from Conservative MPs about Cameron's leadership and his electability. David Davies , the chairman of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee , accused the Conservative leadership of "incompetence" and hinted that it could risk Cameron's leadership. Later that year, Conservative MP Brian Binley openly said that Cameron's leadership was like being a "maid" to the Liberal Democrats, and accused him of leading the party to defeat. The Times and ConservativeHome revealed that a 'rebel reserve' of 55 Conservative MPs gave firm pledges to a co-ordinating MP to support a motion of 'no confidence' and write to Brady simultaneously, more than the 46 MPs needed to trigger a vote of no confidence. In Cameron appointed , former editor of the News of the World , as his director of communications. Coulson had resigned as the paper's editor following the conviction of a reporter in relation to illegal phone hacking , although stating that he knew nothing about it. In January Coulson left his post, saying coverage of the phone-hacking scandal was making it difficult to give his best to the job. Despite a call to apologise for hiring Coulson by the leader of the opposition, Cameron defended the appointment, saying that he had taken a conscious choice to give someone who had screwed up a second chance. Prior to the jury handing down their verdict, Cameron issued a "full and frank" apology for hiring him, saying "I am extremely sorry that I employed him. It was the wrong decision and I am very clear about that. Although Lord Ashcroft played a significant role in the election, he was not offered a ministerial post. He believes Cameron's philosophy of liberal has been destroyed by "coordinated attacks on the Coalition" and "the two parties are no longer trying to pretend that they are governing together. In The Observer , Andrew Rawnsley commented that he believes that Ashcroft uses carefully timed opinion polls to "generate publicity", "stir trouble for the prime minister" and influence the direction of the party. The book includes an anonymous anecdote about Cameron, now referred to as Piggate , in which he allegedly inserted his penis into a dead pig's head. No evidence for the anecdote has been produced. Many commentators have described the accusations as a "revenge job" by Ashcroft, who was not offered a senior role in government when Cameron came to power in In the months immediately following his resignation from the post of Prime Minister, a number of commentators gave negative evaluations of Cameron's premiership.

The next stage of the election process, between Davis and Cameron, was a vote open to the entire party membership. As is customary for an Opposition leader not already a member, upon election Cameron became a member of the Privy Council , being formally approved to join on 14 December , and sworn of the Council on 8 March Cameron's relative youth and inexperience before becoming leader invited satirical comparison with Tony Blair. Private Eye soon published a picture of both leaders on its front cover, with the caption "World's first face transplant a success". Before he became Conservative leader, Cameron was reportedly known to friends and family as "Dave", though his preference is "David" in public. During the leadership election, allegations were made that Cameron had used cannabis and cocaine recreationally before becoming an MP. We all did. His Shadow Cabinet appointments included MPs associated with the various wings of the party. Hague, assisted by Davis, stood in for Cameron during his paternity leave in February A reshuffle of the Shadow Cabinet was undertaken in January During his successful campaign to be elected Leader of the Conservative Party, Cameron pledged that the Conservative Party's Members of the European Parliament would leave the European People's Party group, which had a "federalist" approach to the European Union. In forming the caucus, which had 54 MEPs drawn from eight of the 27 EU member states , Cameron reportedly broke with two decades of Conservative co-operation with the centre-right Christian Democrats, the European People's Party EPP , [] on the grounds that they are dominated by European federalists and supporters of the Lisbon treaty. I can't understand his tactics. Merkel and Sarkozy will never accept his Euroscepticism. Similarly, Cameron's initial " A-List " of prospective parliamentary candidates was attacked by members of his party, [] and the policy was discontinued in favour of sex-balanced final shortlists. Before being discontinued, the policy had been criticised by senior Conservative MP and former Prisons Spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe as an "insult to women", and she had accused Cameron of "storing up huge problems for the future. In April , The Independent reported that in , while Nelson Mandela remained imprisoned under the apartheid regime, David Cameron had accepted a trip to South Africa paid for by an anti- sanctions lobby firm. A spokesperson for Cameron responded by saying that the Conservative Party was at that time opposed to sanctions against South Africa and that his trip was a fact-finding mission. However, the newspaper reported that Cameron's then superior at Conservative Research Department called the trip "jolly", saying that "it was all terribly relaxed, just a little treat, a perk of the job. The Botha regime was attempting to make itself look less horrible, but I don't regard it as having been of the faintest political consequence. At the launch of the Conservative Party's education manifesto in January , Cameron declared an admiration for the "brazenly elite" approach to education of countries such as Singapore and South Korea and expressed a desire to "elevate the status of teaching in our country". Wes Streeting , then president of the National Union of Students , said "The message that the Conservatives are sending to the majority of students is that if you didn't go to a university attended by members of the Shadow Cabinet, they don't believe you're worth as much. During the MPs expenses scandal in , Cameron said he would lead Conservatives in repaying "excessive" expenses and threatened to expel MPs that refused after the expense claims of several members of his shadow cabinet had been questioned:. We have to acknowledge just how bad this is, the public are really angry and we have to start by saying, "Look, this system that we have, that we used, that we operated, that we took part in—it was wrong and we are sorry about that". The Conservatives had last won a general election in The general election resulted in the Conservatives, led by Cameron, winning the largest number of seats This was, however, 20 seats short of an overall majority and resulted in the nation's first hung parliament since February Cameron in late had urged the Liberal Democrats to join the Conservatives in a new "national movement" saying there was "barely a cigarette paper" between them on a large number of issues. The invitation was rejected at the time by the Liberal Democrat leader, , who said that the Conservatives were totally different from his party and that the Lib Dems were the true "progressives" in UK politics. Cameron outlined how he intended to "put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. In June Cameron described the economic situation as he came to power as "even worse than we thought" and warned of "difficult decisions" to be made over spending cuts. Cameron agreed to holding the Scottish independence referendum and eliminated the " devomax " option from the ballot for a straight out yes or no vote. His support for the successful Better Together campaign extended to making a successful request to the Queen to intervene. He supported the introduction of gay marriage despite more of his own Conservative MPs voting against the move than for it, meaning the support of Lib Dem MPs in government and Labour MPs in opposition was required to allow it to pass. Earlier in his term he had managed to secure a huge majority for UK participation in UN-backed military action in Libya, [] but Cameron became the first prime minister since to lose a foreign policy vote in the House of Commons over proposed military action against Assad's regime in Syria. In response to the Great Recession , Cameron undertook the austerity programme. This was a deficit reduction programme consisting of sustained reductions in public spending, intended to reduce the government budget deficit and the welfare state in the United Kingdom. The National Health Service [] and education [] have been " ringfenced " and protected from direct spending cuts. Cameron said immigration from outside the EU should be subject to annual limits. He said in July that "in the last decade we have had an immigration policy that's completely lax. The pressure it puts on our public services and communities is too great. In , Cameron dismissed warnings that his cuts to the UK defence budget had left it less than a "first class-player in terms of defence" and no longer a "full partner" to the United States. Cameron condemned the violence used against anti-Gaddafi protesters at the beginning of the Libyan Civil War [] After weeks of lobbying by the UK and its allies, on 17 March the United Nations Security Council approved a no-fly zone to prevent government forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi from carrying out air attacks on anti-Gaddafi rebels. Cameron said he was "proud" of the role United Kingdom played in the overthrow of Gaddafi's government. People who said 'this is all going to be an enormous swamp of Islamists and extremists'—they were wrong". In through the Foreign Affairs Select Committee conducted an extensive and highly critical inquiry into the British involvement in the civil war. It concluded that the early threat to civilians had been overstated and that the significant Islamist element in the rebel forces had not been recognised, due to an intelligence failure. By mid the initial limited intervention to protect Libyan civilians had become a policy of regime change. However that new policy did not include proper support and for a new government, leading to a political and economic collapse in Libya and the growth of ISIL in North Africa. It concluded that Cameron was ultimately responsible for this British policy failure. US President Barack Obama also acknowledged there had been issues with following up the conflict planning, commenting in an interview with The Atlantic magazine that Cameron had allowed himself to be "distracted by a range of other things". In , in response to Argentina 's calls for negotiations over the Falkland Islands ' sovereignty, a referendum was called asking Falkland Islanders whether they supported the continuation of their status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom. With a turnout of In light of this, Cameron said: "We believe in the Falkland islanders' right to self-determination. They had a referendum. They couldn't have been more clear about wanting to remain with our country and we should protect and defend them". Cameron supported Britain's close relationship with . According to WikiLeaks , Cameron initiated a secret deal with Saudi Arabia ensuring both countries were elected onto the U. Human Rights Council. Cameron reiterated calls for an independent investigation into the alleged war crimes during the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War. In a speech in Ankara in July , Cameron stated unequivocally his support for Turkey's accession to the EU, citing economic, security and political considerations, and claimed that those who opposed Turkish membership were driven by "protectionism, narrow nationalism or prejudice". During the EU referendum campaign, Cameron stated that Turkey was unlikely to be ready to join the EU 'until the year ' at its current rate of progress. At the end of May , Cameron stepped down as patron of the Jewish National Fund , [] [] becoming the first British prime minister not to be patron of the charity in the years of its existence. In a speech in Cameron said: "You have a Prime Minister whose commitment and determination to work for peace in Israel is deep and strong. Britain will continue to push for peace, but will always stand up for Israel against those who wish her harm". He said he wanted to reaffirm his "unshakable" belief in Israel within the same message. In March , during his first visit to Israel as Prime Minister, Cameron addressed Israel's Knesset in Jerusalem , where he offered his full support for peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians, hoping a two-state solution might be achieved. In August , Cameron lost a motion in favour of bombing Syrian armed forces in response to the , becoming the first prime minister to suffer such a foreign-policy defeat since These drone operators, who were "a gift of services", meaning the UK still paid their salaries and covered their expenses, had been carrying out operations that included reconnaissance in Syria to assist American strikes against IS. Fallon said that it was "illogical" for the UK not to bomb ISIL in Syria, for the organisation does not "differentiate between Syria and Iraq" and is "organised and directed and administered from Syria". The vote for military action was supported by all but seven members of the Parliamentary Conservative Party, as well as 66 Labour MPs who backed the government in defiance of their leader, Jeremy Corbyn , who had expressed his opposition to air strikes. The Conservative Party's decisive victory in the general election was a surprise, as most polls and commentators had suggested the outcome was too close to call and that the result would be a second hung parliament. As promised in the election manifesto, Cameron set a date for a referendum on whether the UK should remain a member of the European Union , and announced that he would be campaigning for Britain to remain within a "reformed EU". The referendum came to be known as Brexit a portmanteau of "British" and "exit" and was held on 23 June In a speech the next day outside 10 Downing Street, he stated that, on account of his own advocacy on behalf of remaining in the EU, "I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. There was some strong criticism made of Cameron and his government following the referendum. Matthew Norman, in an opinion piece in The Independent , called the referendum an act of "indescribably selfish recklessness. The Conservative Party leadership election was scheduled for 9 September and the new leader was expected to be in place by the autumn conference, set to begin on 2 October. After his final Prime Minister's Questions, Cameron received a standing ovation from MPs; his final comment was, "I was the future once" — a reference to his quip to Tony Blair, "he was the future once". Cameron then submitted his resignation to the Queen later that day. Although no longer serving as Prime Minister, Cameron originally stated that he would continue inside Parliament, on the Conservative backbenches. Cameron described himself in December as a "modern compassionate conservative " and spoke of a need for a new style of politics, saying that he was "fed up with the Punch and Judy politics of Westminster ". He has urged politicians to concentrate more on improving people's happiness and "general well-being", instead of focusing solely on "financial wealth". In his first Conservative conference speech as party leader in Bournemouth in , he described the National Health Service as "one of the 20th Century's greatest achievements". He went on to say, " Tony Blair explained his priorities in three words: education, education, education. I can do it in three letters: N. My family is so often in the hands of the NHS, so I want them to be safe there. Cameron said that he believed in "spreading freedom and democracy, and supporting humanitarian intervention" in cases such as the genocide in Darfur , Sudan. However, he rejected because, as a conservative , he recognises "the complexities of human nature , and will always be sceptical of grand schemes to remake the world. He believes that British Muslims have a duty to integrate into British culture, but noted in an article published in that the Muslim community finds aspects such as high divorce rates and drug use uninspiring, and that "Not for the first time, I found myself thinking that it is mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the British Asian way of life, not the other way around. She resigned, however, in August over the government's handling of the Israel—Gaza conflict. Whilst urging members of his party to support the coalition's proposals for same-sex marriage , Cameron said that he backed gay marriage not in spite of his conservatism but because he is a conservative, and claimed it was about equality. In Cameron described poverty as a "moral disgrace" [] and promised to tackle relative poverty. Also in he stated "Ending child poverty is central to improving child well-being". In , he wanted lesbians who receive IVF treatment to be required to name a father figure, which received condemnation from LGBT equality groups. In November , Cameron and Nick Clegg agreed to fast-track legislation for introducing same-sex marriage. In August , he rejected calls by Stephen Fry and others to strip Russia from hosting the Winter Olympics due to its anti-gay laws. In Cameron said "the restoration of family values and a new commitment to economic and social responsibility" were "key to repairing 'broken Britain'". I want to promote marriage, defend marriage, encourage marriage. Cameron criticised Gordon Brown when Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer for being "an analogue politician in a digital age" and referred to him as "the roadblock to reform". He said that "clearly looks a fool" after Prescott's personal indiscretions were revealed in spring , and wondered if the Deputy Prime Minister had broken the ministerial code. In , Cameron made a speech in which he described extremist Islamic organisations and the British National Party as "mirror images" to each other, both preaching "creeds of pure hatred". In September , after the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, Cameron called the party a "threat" to British national and economic security, on the basis of Corbyn's defence and fiscal policies. In an interview on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross in , Cameron said that he supported the decision of the then Labour Government to go to war in Iraq , and said that he thought supporters should "see it through". In , he oversaw the withdrawal of British soldiers from Iraq. He repeatedly called for the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war to conclude and publish its findings, saying "People want to know the truth". Cameron was a strong advocate of increased ties between India and the United Kingdom, describing Indian—British relations as the "New Special Relationship " in In October , as Narendra Modi rose to prominence in India, the UK rescinded its boycott of the then- Gujarat state Chief Minister over religious riots in Gujarat in that left more than 2, dead, [] and in November , Cameron commented that he was "open" to meeting Modi. While Leader of the Conservative Party , Cameron was accused of reliance on "old-boy networks", [] and conversely attacked by his party for the imposition of selective shortlists of women and ethnic minority prospective parliamentary candidates. Some of Cameron's senior appointments, such as George Osborne as Chancellor of the Exchequer , are former members of the Bullingdon Club. Michael Gove conceded it was "ridiculous" how many fellow Cabinet ministers were old Etonians, though he placed the blame on the failings of the state education system rather than Cameron. Following poor results in the May local elections after a difficult few months for the government, with Labour increasing its lead in the polls, there were concerns from Conservative MPs about Cameron's leadership and his electability. David Davies , the chairman of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee , accused the Conservative leadership of "incompetence" and hinted that it could risk Cameron's leadership. Later that year, Conservative MP Brian Binley openly said that Cameron's leadership was like being a "maid" to the Liberal Democrats, and accused him of leading the party to defeat. The Times and ConservativeHome revealed that a 'rebel reserve' of 55 Conservative MPs gave firm pledges to a co-ordinating MP to support a motion of 'no confidence' and write to Brady simultaneously, more than the 46 MPs needed to trigger a vote of no confidence. In Cameron appointed Andy Coulson , former editor of the News of the World , as his director of communications. Coulson had resigned as the paper's editor following the conviction of a reporter in relation to illegal phone hacking , although stating that he knew nothing about it. In January Coulson left his post, saying coverage of the phone-hacking scandal was making it difficult to give his best to the job. Despite a call to apologise for hiring Coulson by the leader of the opposition, Cameron defended the appointment, saying that he had taken a conscious choice to give someone who had screwed up a second chance. Prior to the jury handing down their verdict, Cameron issued a "full and frank" apology for hiring him, saying "I am extremely sorry that I employed him. It was the wrong decision and I am very clear about that. Although Lord Ashcroft played a significant role in the election, he was not offered a ministerial post. He believes Cameron's philosophy of liberal conservatism has been destroyed by "coordinated attacks on the Coalition" and "the two parties are no longer trying to pretend that they are governing together. In The Observer , Andrew Rawnsley commented that he believes that Ashcroft uses carefully timed opinion polls to "generate publicity", "stir trouble for the prime minister" and influence the direction of the party. The book includes an anonymous anecdote about Cameron, now referred to as Piggate , in which he allegedly inserted his penis into a dead pig's head. No evidence for the anecdote has been produced. Many commentators have described the accusations as a "revenge job" by Ashcroft, who was not offered a senior role in government when Cameron came to power in In the months immediately following his resignation from the post of Prime Minister, a number of commentators gave negative evaluations of Cameron's premiership. The University of Leeds ' survey of post-War Prime Ministers, which collected the views of 82 academics specialising in the history and politics of post-war Britain, ranked Cameron as the third-worst Prime Minister since , ranking above only Alec Douglas-Home and Anthony Eden. All appointments post-premiership have to be approved by the UK government advisory committee. In addition to the two posts above they also approved the following positions: []. Cameron maintained a low profile following his resignation as Prime Minister and the subsequent Brexit negotiations. In January , following Theresa May 's defeat in the House of Commons over her draft withdrawal agreement, Cameron gave a rare interview to reporters outside his house in Notting Hill , saying he backed May's Brexit deal with the EU and did not regret calling the referendum. He confessed "Every single day I think about it, and the fact that we lost, and the consequences, and the things that could have been done differently, and I worry desperately". Months following Boris Johnson 's election as Prime Minister, Cameron began criticising Johnson's Brexit strategy, including his decision to prorogue parliament ahead of the Brexit deadline of 31 October and the removal of the whip from Conservative MPs who voted to block a no- deal Brexit. Additionally, he accused Johnson, as well as Michael Gove , of behaving "appallingly" during the referendum campaign of In January , several news outlets reported that Cameron's political memoir, including an account of his time in office, was more than three-quarters written. In May , HarperCollins released the book's title and release date: For the Record , published in hardback, ebook and radio on 19 September. Cameron made a cameo in the BBC television programme Top Gear's India Special , where he tells the trio of Jeremy Clarkson , James May , and Richard Hammond to "stay away from India" after initially denying the group's request to improve economic relations with India in a letter and suggested that they mend fences with Mexico. It was then David and Samantha's romance started. They were married in The Camerons have had four children. Their first, Ivan Reginald Ian, was born on 8 April in Hammersmith and Fulham , London, with a rare combination of cerebral palsy and a form of severe epilepsy called Ohtahara syndrome , requiring round-the-clock care. Recalling the receipt of this news, Cameron was quoted as saying: "The news hits you like a freight train You are depressed for a while because you are grieving for the difference between your hopes and the reality. But then you get over that, because he's wonderful. Her third given name, Endellion, is taken from the village of St Endellion near where the Camerons were holidaying. In early May , the Camerons decided to enrol their daughter Nancy at a state primary school. For three years before that they had been attending its associated church, St Mary Abbots , [] near the Cameron family home in North Kensington. On 8 September , it was announced that Cameron would miss Prime Minister's Questions in order to fly to southern France to see his father, Ian Cameron, who had suffered a stroke with coronary complications. Later that day, with David and other family members at his bedside, Ian died. Ian Cameron, who had worked as a stockbroker in the City of London, used multimillion-pound investment funds based in offshore tax havens, such as Jersey , Panama City , and Geneva , to increase the family wealth. In April , following the Panama Papers financial documents leak, David Cameron faced calls to resign after it was revealed that he and his wife Samantha invested in Ian Cameron's offshore fund. Before becoming prime minister, Cameron regularly used his bicycle to commute to work. In early , he was photographed cycling to work, followed by his driver in a car carrying his belongings. His Conservative Party spokesperson subsequently said that this was a regular arrangement for Cameron at the time. Cameron supports Aston Villa. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

As others have said, it's like a soap opera in cosy book form where you can catch up with your favourite characters and meet a few new ones. Jul 06, Kathryn rated it it was amazing. This author is unknown to me but is obviously well known in the UK and she has many books under both names. I ran across this one at a remainder sale at one of the grocery stores I frequent - it looked interesting so I bought it. It looked like a fun book. It is actually the 4th in the series, which I had not realized at the time, but that was really immaterial. A brief note of the background of some ongoing characters is given at the front, so that helps. It is a combination of stories in a sma This author is unknown to me but is obviously well known in the UK and she has many books under both names. It is a combination of stories in a small rural community in Scotland, and those who have lived in small communities may be familiar with similar circumstances. Some readers have compared it to soap operas like Coronation Street etc and that is probably accurate - ongoing characters in their day to day lives, and then occasional focus on some event with one family. This will be a challenge. I have checked my library - they have book 7 only better than nothing. New and used bookstores do not have any in stock - some audio books. But through amazon. Or I will have a look at community used pre-read book sales. Bottom line: I enjoyed it. Apr 19, Adele rated it liked it Shelves: general-fiction.

I found it difficult to work out chronological order given this 4th in series took a while to understand characters. Jul 20, Jeannie and Louis Rigod rated it really liked it. Life does happen and that is what this series about the Scottish village of Prior's Ford is written about. The previous books had laughter, harmony and heart soreness I would say. This edition was a sharp contrast. A member of the community dies and leaves letters of what she 'really' thought which are interpreted as 'Poison Pen' letters. The entire community is appalled. Even the new comer - Amy Rose is determined to get to the bottom of this. Sadness falls upon Tarbethall. Really much darker tha Life does happen and that is what this series about the Scottish village of Prior's Ford is written about. Really much darker than I saw coming, yet, upon reflection, I do understand it. I actually sobbed during this chapter.
