  • Mail on Sunday picks Coming Up Trumps

    07 Jul 2014

    Baroness Trumpington’s hugely entertaining memoir Coming Up Trumps, ghosted by agency author Deborah Crewe, was picked as one of the Mail on Sunday’s Summer Reads.

    ‘I doubt if there will be a funnier memoir this year than Baroness Trumpington’s. At 17, she had to fend off the advances of David Lloyd-George – ‘the old goat’. She went on to become a wartime code-breaker and a minister. But this is no dry plod through her political accomplishments. Trumpington has led her life at full tilt and at 92, age has not dulled her relish for behaving badly.’
