Margot at War: Love and Betrayal in Downing Street, 1912-1916 De Courcy Anne
Margot Asquith was perhaps the most daring and unconventional Prime Minister's wife in British history. Yet her last four years at Number 10 were a period of intense emotional and political turmoil in her private and public life. Known for her wit, style and habit of speaking her mind, she transformed 10 Downing Street into a glittering social and intellectual salon.
Against this background of a government beset with troubles, the Prime Minister fell desperately in love with his daughter's best friend, Venetia Stanley; to complicate matters, so did his Private Secretary. In 1912 rumblings of discontent and cries for social reform were encroaching on all sides - from suffragettes, striking workers and Irish nationalists. Margot's relationship with her husband was already bedevilled by her stepdaughter's jealous adoration of her father.
