It has long been rumoured that John Profumo had written a memoir which would appear after his death. However, the book which will appear in September, is actually written by John Profumo's son David. He has spent hours talking to his mother and father about the events of 1963, when he was only 8 years old. I suspect this could be one of the year's bestsellers. It's going to be called Bringing the House Down.
I was ten when the story broke and interestingly, it was as big in the States as it was here. It sounded so glamourous and naughty. I thought Christine Keeler the most beautiful creature and I would read the papers every day to see what she and Mandy Rice-Davies were wearing. How sad it is for Christine Keeler now.
