David Profumo was just seven when his father resigned from the Macmillan government. Despite the furore that followed, his parents famously stayed together. Now, 40 years on, their son has written this long-awaited account of their family life before, during and after the sensational events of 1963. Drawing on diaries, letters and other memorabilia never before made public, Bringing the House Down describes the backgrounds and careers of the two protagonists before they met. By turns intimate, caustic and poignant, their only child's personal memoir of their three lives together not only puts flesh on the bones of the old family skeleton, but also offers a remarkable portrait of a love affair that somehow survived in a world turned upside down.
