The PM of England learns he is very out-of-touch w/his country men & women. The solution? Dress in disguise as a woman to explore the country & talk w/a variety of people. He is accompanied by Jack, a policeman, who is always stationed at the entrance to #10 Downing St. Many wry situations arise during their journeys. Solutions will need initiation by the PM & the Houses of govt. as they learn of their dysfunctional past decisions. There are amusing moments on every page.
Behind closed doors, we encounter both Jack's and the Prime Minister's strange families as sub plots. Hilarity and social comments abound which make this book one you will enjoy immensely!
