ION TREWIN & JANE CLARK
ALAN CLARK - THE BIOGRAPHY
QUARTERHOUSE
Alan Clark died ten years ago, but his reputation as a maverick MP passionate about cars, women and politics, as well as being one of the all-time greatest diarists, lives on. Sifting through countless papers from the Clark family home, Saltwood Castle, with the blessing of Alan’s widow Jane, Ion Trewin has uncovered a fascinating life story – some of which Clark himself chose not to discuss. For this very special event Trewin will be joined by Jane Clark, and a guest interviewer to discuss the fascinating life of one of England’s boldest political characters.
