Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £6.22
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Politics is a ruthless business, even more so for a woman. When headteacher Kirsty's local MP resigns after a sex scandal, she's set on running in the by-election to replace him. She seems the ideal Labour candidate - hard-working, ambitious, and with excellent working-class credentials. Only her husband Rick is unconvinced.

When he fails to dissuade her from standing, Rick sets out to influence Kirsty's campaign to his own advantage. Kirsty battles on in the spotlight as the domestic and the political start to collide - until a revelation from the past threatens to derail the whole operation.

The Candidate's Husband is a story about how we deceive those closest to us - and how sometimes we deceive ourselves too.
