SPEAKING FOR MYSELF:THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Book ID/图书代码： 07980007B17984

English Summary/英文概要： Cherie Blair’s much-anticipated autobiography takes the reader from a childhood in working-class Liverpool to the heart of the British legal system and then, as the wife of the Prime Minister, to 10 Downing Street.

It has been an astonishing journey for a woman whose unconventional childhood was full of drama, and who grew up with a fierce sense of justice.

Cherie Blair was the first British Prime Minister’s wife to have a serious career, rising to the top of her profession at a young age, only to find herself in a new and challenging role in the public eye.

In her autobiography she will speak for the first time about what it was like to combine this role with her full and rewarding life as a working mother. As a barrister and a judge, Cherie Blair is used to speaking on behalf of other people.

At last she speaks for herself, offering a warm, intimate and often very funny portrait of a family living in extraordinary circumstances.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 縱使貴為英國御用大律師、前首相之妻—雪莉‧布雷爾這個女人回到家裡，依然只是個平凡的母親；她要如何在社會要職與家庭溫暖間取得平衡？優秀的大律師、首相之妻與稱職的母親角色，該如何扮演？

英國御用大律師、英國前首相布雷爾的妻子---雪莉·布雷爾。
雪莉•布雷爾將在這本眾人引頸盼望的自傳裏，帶領讀者經歷她在利物浦工人階層度過的貧困的童年時期、爾後進入英國法律體系的核心，至今位尊為首相夫人，這一連串奇妙的、豐盈的人生旅程。
雪莉•布雷爾有一個不尋常而戲劇化的童年：
在單親的幼年時期，她被母親和祖母撫養長大。母親和祖母灌輸給她的強烈的正義感：不屈不撓的利物浦人思想和幽默，經常牽制著她的行為，偶爾也會使她陷入麻煩中。
雖然雪莉是為家族裏的第一位大學生，但她並不鼓勵那些純粹懷抱著成功美夢的女性工人階級加入律師行業。
當她和托尼•布雷爾相遇並墜入愛河時，她對於「自己未來的生活將會如何﹖」、「未來又將會有什麼不尋常的轉折？」並無太大的設想。
如今她發現自己在大眾眼中，自己正處於一個新的、充滿挑戰性的角色。
在《首相之妻有話要說》這本書裏，她描述了身為一個在職的母親，她是怎樣成功扮演好這個角色，並與真實生活中「母親的身分」做適當的融合。
即使身在一個特殊的家庭環境，也能刻畫一幅溫暖，親密而又有趣的家庭畫像--《首相之妻有話要說》是一本生動，坦率而富有洞察力的書。(SL)
