Hard Choices cover

In Hard Choices, Grace Fry confronts a dangerous conspiracy threatening her life and the truth. She must choose between ambition and integrity.

In Hard Choices, Grace Fry, a strikingly bold Minister for Women, finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to silence the truth. As she navigates the treacherous waters of political maneuvering, she uncovers a plot involving manipulation, deceit, and even murder, all orchestrated by those in power who will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on authority. The stakes are high, and as the tension escalates, Grace must confront her own ambitions and the moral implications of her choices.

The narrative delves into the darkly satirical aspects of a society where political parties prioritize their survival over the well-being of the public. Grace’s journey becomes a reflection of the broader struggles faced by individuals who dare to challenge the status quo. With her life hanging in the balance, she must consider whether to risk everything to expose the truth or to succumb to the allure of a high-ranking position that promises safety and prestige.

Hard Choices is a gripping exploration of integrity, ambition, and the complexities of power dynamics. As Grace grapples with her decision, readers are invited to ponder the cost of silence in a world where truth is often overshadowed by ambition. Will she find the courage to stand up for what is right, or will she be drawn into the web of deceit that surrounds her?

' a darkly satirical vision of how the country might be if a party not unlike new Labour stay in power for too long.' THE DAILY MAIL 'the most reviewed unpublished novel in the history of English fiction. 'Hard Choices' is as good as Julian Barnes' 'England, England.' THE OBSERVER 'No wonder Number 10 never wanted you to read this funny, clever frightening book.' THE SUNDAY EXPRESS - FICTION READ OF THE WEEK. ' This is new Labour's 2084. Everyone should read it so that we can make sure it doesn't get this bad.' CLARE SHORT MP
