Coming Up Trumps also reviewed in The Times
07 Jul 2014
‘The 91-year-old Tory peeress is an astonishing character. She has galloped her way, with great humour, through half-a-dozen different lives. She had a good war at Bletchley Park (despite picking up a 15ft-long tapeworm); was sacked as an assistant at Peter Jones; worked on Madison Avenue during the Mad Men era; swam at Cliveden in the Sixties with Stephen Ward; was a headmaster’s wife before becoming a Tory minister; and has had a very late Indian summer, as a V-sign flicking member of the House of Lords and star turn onHave I Got News for You. Her memoir is a riot of anecdotes.’

Mail on Sunday picks Coming Up Trumps
07 Jul 2014
Baroness Trumpington’s hugely entertaining memoir Coming Up Trumps, ghosted by agency author Deborah Crewe, was picked as one of the Mail on Sunday’s Summer Reads.
‘I doubt if there will be a funnier memoir this year than Baroness Trumpington’s. At 17, she had to fend off the advances of David Lloyd-George – ‘the old goat’. She went on to become a wartime code-breaker and a minister. But this is no dry plod through her political accomplishments. Trumpington has led her life at full tilt and at 92, age has not dulled her relish for behaving badly.’
