I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by John Crace

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by John Crace

A portrait of Westminster and the forthcoming General Election that exposes the realities of the Coalition, while offering a guide to a half-decade of madness: Foreign Policy; The Economy; Immigration; The Opposition; and, the countdown to the General Election 2015.

"Crace has a secret weapon in his armoury when he tells the story of the coalition and modern politics: his imaginary accounts of conversations between the people in powerThey leave you thinking: "So THAT's how it was!" It's a rare gift. And it's very funny. " John Humphrys "I thoroughly enjoyed this funny, informative account of the coalition. He reminds us that under every rose garden is a steaming great pile of manure." -- John O'Farrell Twitter "Loved John Crace's new, wry look at the coalition "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden". A GREAT Xmas present." -- Martha Lane Fox Twitter "One of the best politics books of the year: a satirical account of the bizarre world of coalition bickering." The Guardian
