Father Michael Seed has been at the privileged centre of events for a quarter of a century, and has played a uniquely influential role. In this memoir Britain's 'priest to the stars' covers his encounters with some of the prominent political and public figures of a generation, and gives a rare and fascinating glimpse of behind-the-scenes events in the corridors of power. For years he secretly gave mass to the Blairs in Downing Street, initially slipping through a rear, ground floor window, before it was leaked to the press in 2006. His has been a turbulent ride through life, denounced and envied by those who dislike his champagne style of Catholicism, loved by those who declare him a saint, and so admired by The Times that it demanded he be instantly made a bishop. His friendship with people like best chum Ann Widdecombe, Alan Clark, the Duchess of Argyll, Lord Longford, George Carman QC, John Paul Getty, the Duke of Norfolk, a host of royals and half a dozen prime ministers, has left little room for dullness. He provides insights into life in Westminster Cathedral and with Cardinal Basil Hume. D4D Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
