A Slight and Delicate Creature
Margaret Cook was the wife of Robin Cook, Foreign Secretary. She also pursued her own career as a haematologist. In the summer of 1997, the News of the World revealed that Robin Cook was having an affair with his diary secretary. The Cooks separated and in March 1998 were divorced. Cook tells the no-holds-barred story of her own marriage, but also writes about the the pressure that wives of high-flyers face, how they have to subjugate their careers to those of their husbands.

A River with a City Problem
When floods devastated South East Queensland in 2011, who was to blame? Despite the inherent risk of living on a floodplain, most residents had pinned their hopes on Wivenhoe Dam to protect them, and when it failed to do so, dam operators were blamed for the scale of the catastrophic events that followed. A River with a City Problem is a compelling history of floods in the Brisbane River catchment, especially those in 1893, 1974 and 2011. Extensively researched, it highlights the force of nature, the vagaries of politics and the power of community. With many river cities facing urban development challenges, Cook makes a convincing argument for what must change to prevent further tragedy.

Describing kitchen equi...

Climbing the Stairs
From the grand houses of Brighton to imposing London mansions, life as a kitchen maid could be exhausting and demoralising. It’s not just being at the beck and call of the people upstairs, when even the children of the family can treat you like dirt, but having to deal with temperamental cooks, starchy butlers and chauffeurs with a roving eye. Marriage is the only escape, but with one evening off a week Margaret has no time to lose. Between Perce the bus conductor (who brings his mother on dates) and Mr Hailsham the fishmonger (who looks – and smells – a bit like his wares), her initial prospects are hardly the stuff of dreams. But then she meets Albert; a butcher boy-turned-milkman. C...
