I didn't open this book with any great expectations. I'm far from being a fan of what Mrs Thatcher achieved as the UK's first woman Prime Minister and I don't think that children are the best people to write biographies of their parents. I well remember reading Dominic Carman's biography of his father, [[No Ordinary Man|George Carman]]. I was pleasantly surprised though - the book was read over a couple of evenings and I felt that I knew Denis Thatcher rather better than before I opened the book. I'd also warmed to him, even if only a little.
