Guardian Angel: My Story, My Britain

Melanie Phillips is Britain's most high-profile political and moral pundit. This memoir of her personal and professional life reflects the seismic changes in British culture and society over a quarter of a century, covering her decades as a news editor, leading columnist, broadcaster and bestselling author - a period which saw her transformed from darling of the left into icon of 'Middle Britain' and the most controversial journalist in the UK. Through her poignant story she provides a unique account of her own struggle to emerge from the grip of a suffocating family background, and reconcile love and loyalty with the freedom to be herself at last.
