Synopsis

Cherie Booth is Britain's most famous wife and mother, a top lawyer and daughter of the once very famous, and more recently very notorious, actor Tony Booth. Hundreds of stories have been written about her, and thousands of pictures printed; she rarely speaks in public, and seems content to let her public persona remain the smiling partner of the Prime Minister. But who really is she, this talented and high-achieving woman who jealously guards her family's privacy? Through careful research and conversations with Cherie's family, friends and colleagues, Linda McDougall unlocks the mystery of the silent woman at the Prime Minister's side.

Media Reviews
Cherie Blair is probably the most controversial prime ministerial consort ever. Acknowledged to be an exceptionally bright woman, cleverer than her husband, she has been condemned for speaking out and condemned for remaining silent. A career woman in her own right, her work as a QC is both admired and criticised, and a Tory MP received cheers and jeers when he characterised her as a Lady Macbeth figure. When she became pregnant, some of her detractors claimed it was no accident but a carefully timed political move: The PM would have his very own baby to kiss come the next election campaign. So who is she really, beyond being the daughter of Tony Booth and the wife of Tony Blair? McDougall, wife of veteran Labour MP Austin Mitchell, has talked to family, friends and colleagues in an attempt to piece together the jigsaw and unlock the mystery. A high-profile serialisation means that PN has little to go on but the book is being packaged to resemble a blockbuster novel and an ITV primetime documentary, produced by McDougall, is scheduled to tie in with publication.
