  Margaret Cook was the wife of Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary. She also pursued her own career as a haematologist. In the summer of 1997, the News of the World revealed that Robin Cook was having an affair with his diary secretary. The Cooks separated and in March 1998 were divorced. Cook tells the no-holds-barred story of her own marriage, but also writes about the the pressure that wives of high-flyers face, how they have to subjugate their careers to those of their husbands.
