Interesting look at Promiscuity in the late 50's early 60's prior to birth control and "Freedom" I'v always had the strange notion that sex was still taboo post Victorian time up to 1967.... it was as underground as the Narcotics and Espionage. Keeler refers to London at that time as the "village" and how different life was... the fascinating thing is the melting pot of Balding,fat,libido driven players from all sides of the Political spectrum, creeds and lifestyles, the very worse people at times touch upon the ordinary ignorant and innocent. Its distasteful at its worst but riveting at its best. A book that reminds you hiw the wheels of power functioned at that time and..... how promiscuous a woman can be.

I knew this lady while in my teens, but this book really informed me of aspects of her life that I wasn't aware of! A good read. Shame that the Grade 2 listed house at Wimpole Mews has been altered almost beyond recognition. 😟

From someone who wasnt born until the end of the 60s, and loved the film Scandal, I couldn't put this down. Essential reading
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Written by the person at the centre of the Profumo affair, a detailed and fascinating insight from the point of view of the woman so castigated and maligned by the press and society. It tells a sad story of how she was drawn into the shady world of the rich and powerful and then scapegoated to cover up and draw attention away from the real scandal of the day and left in poverty living in a council flat trying to bring up her child as a single parent.
