...main misconception about the book itself is that it was some sort of political tome. The book is a woman's story. I wanted to write it as though I was talking to my girlfriends, to tell a story not just of my 10 years in Downing Street but of the 50-year journey of a woman who comes from a relatively humble beginning in Liverpool and finds herself living for 10 years in one of the most famous addresses in the world, with this ringside seat on history...

Her village in Dong Nai's district of Long Thanh once depended upon fishing and small farms. "After Vedan opened, the pollution killed all the fish so I had nothing to feed my seven children," she complains, adding that the factory brought few of the promised benefits, only cancers and stomach ailments. With no other options, Nung's 19-year-old daughter married a Taiwanese...
