First Lady

Virginia Edge, mid-30s, attractive, self-sufficient, ambitious. Knowledge is power, and the news that her husband is having an affair is a shattering blow that turns her from dutiful, political wife to masterful manipulator. She is a woman driven by the failings of men and the greed of others to take over their system and undermine it, to repay them in kind. In her favour is the intuition and determination of a wronged wife, and the blind ineptitude of Westminster men. But, as Ginny discovers, there is a high price to pay for reaching to the very top.
