'The most exceptional political memoir I've ever read'
ALAN JOHNSON

'An instant classic'
MARINA HYDE

'At last a politician who can write'
SEBASTIAN FAULKS

Over the course of a decade, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister - before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise.

Uncompromising, honest and darkly humorous, this is his story of the challenges, absurdities and realities of political life. Instantly praised as a new classic, it is an astonishing portrait of our turbulent times.

Rory Stewart lived in and around the Eden Valley of Cumbria for ten years, serving as the Member of Parliament for Penrith and the Border. He is half Scottish and half English. He is the author of several prize-winning and bestselling books including The Places in Between, a New York Times bestseller, and, most recently, Politics On the Edge, a no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller. Stewart is currently Brady-Johnson Professor of the Practice of Grand Strategy at Yale University's Jackson School of Global Affairs, and the co-host of the leading UK podcast The Rest Is Politics.

There's no denying that Rory Stewart stands almost alone among British politicians: he's one of a handful who can actually turn a phrase. That talent is put to good use here - no other account of how Cameron Toryism curdled into May and Johnson is likely to be as evocative or amusing as this one The Times, *The Times Political Book of the Year*
