Too Nice To Be A Tory - It's My Party & I'll Cry If I Want To

Simon & Schuster 2004

"Witty and penetrating, Jo-Anne Nadler's book makes painful reading for Tories." - Michael Portillo

"A frank account of a critical juncture from a privileged viewpoint. Unusually free from malice Jo-Anne Nadler's testimony will form part of history's verdict on what may be the death, or could prove the rebirth, of the Conservative Party." - Mathew Parris

"A masterly survey of this epic period. The only mystery is: when is Jo-Anne Nadler going to become a Tory MP?" - Boris Johnson

"There are witty pen portraits of Tory figures, entertaining anecdotes, and thoughtful consideration of why the Tories might have become unpopular." - Sunday Times

"This excellent book is the first in a long while to have kept me reading on into irresponsible hours of the morning. It is a lively, entertaining, informative and fascinating account of Conservative politics since 1979." Ann Widdecombe, New Statesman

"Has the party changed or have I? She asks. This book chronicles her witty and often incisive search for answers." - Daily Mail

"Charming and affectionate memoir of life behind the scenes at the top of the Party..." - Daily Express

"Jo-Anne Nadler was able to rise above the unattractive skin of some Tories. This detachment makes her rather good at skewering the reasons why Tories are so disliked ....Again and again she shines a powerful light on the division between alluring Tory measures and distinctly un-alluring Tory men". - Sunday Telegraph

"Nadler comes across as a warm and witty woman." - Mary Ann Sieghart, The Times

"Huge fun. Jo-Anne Nadler's memoir zips thought he last twenty five years of Tory history from a refreshingly different angle - a highly informed and intelligent insight." - Michael Crick

"I am reading Jo-Anne Nadler's "Too Nice to be a Tory". It's a really funny account of the past 25 years in her life, as she progresses from archetypal Young Conservative to grown-up girl about town." - Conservative Future website Click here for full review
