Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival presents:
Sarah Vine | How Not to Be a Political Wife
Sunday 19 October 2025
The Crown Hotel, Harrogate
Tickets
£ 20.00
Join journalist and former political insider Sarah Vine for an unflinching exploration of her memoir How Not to Be a Political Wife. Drawing from nearly two decades at Westminster’s epicentre, Vine delivers a raw and candid account of marriage, power, and betrayal including her intimate relationship with the Camerons and the breakdown of her marriage to Michael Gove.
With wit and candour, she reveals how politics not only shaped her personal life, from glamorous Ibiza holidays to fraught confrontations at government events. This is more than a political memoir, it’s a reflection on class, ambition, loyalty, and the emotional cost of living in the political spotlight.
‘Raw, unfiltered, painfully honest…the political memoir Westminster is dreading.’
