Description

Tamara Sim, a ruthlessly ambitious young journalist, is thrilled when she is sent to interview veteran war correspondent Honor Tait. Finally – a chance for Tamara to prove that there’s more to her than forged expenses claims and the ‘what’s in/what’s out’ column she churns out for her tabloid. But Honor isn’t an easy subject; cold and evasive to the point of rudeness, it’s almost as if she has something to hide. And when Tamara starts to do some digging (not all of it strictly legal) she makes a discovery which has devastating consequences for them both…In The Spoiler, the former literary editor of the Financial Times and the Guardian offers a first hand glimpse into the world of British journalism.

About The Author

Annalena McAfee worked in newspapers for more than three decades. She was Arts and Literary Editor of the Financial Times and founded the Guardian Review, which she edited for six years.

A wonderfully entertaining comedy of manners about the dying days of Fleet Street and the cult of celebrity… The Spoiler is a clever, literary romp with flashes of Nancy Mitford and Helen Fielding… A darkly, deliciously witty read

Other text

Brilliant … It grips from the first with verbal polish and razor-sharp satire
