Exiled in Italy at forty-two, Richard Remington sets down how he was made: a suburban boyhood in Bromstead, school, Cambridge, marriage to the earnest Margaret and a fast rise in Westminster politics. Then comes his passion for the brilliant Isabel Rivers, and the scandal that forces him to choose between public life and private love.
