A Demain is a book that should have a lot of appeal to a mature audience. It is a different approach to the common description of the senior years. The book uses characters who participate in a life that rises above the gray life that descends on people above sixty years on this earth. The characters have the common health issues, but their relationship with their doctor is not the most important relationship in their life. These characters seek to be part of a meaningful relationship with others, Sex is still an important segment of their wellbeing. Their language is one that is not faint; it is colorful and on point in all situations. A person reading this might say, “My friends don’t talk like that, but I wish they did.” This book would bring a smile to the majority of readers and they would recognize a lot of the happenings in the book. The growing importance of personal relationships as age increases is a keystone to this book.

Tom King''s personal memoirs range across a life of exceptional activity and interest. Aged nineteen, he found himself commanding a military company against Mau Mau terrorists in Kenya; at thirty he became the youngest ever general manager in a major printing and packaging group, in charge of a factory with a staff of 700 and dealing with nine different trade unions. Elected as an MP in 1970, nine years later he took through the legislation that transformed London''s vast derelict docklands into the thriving business district of Canary Wharf. Subsequently his five Secretary of State roles saw him carrying through the law that gave union members the right to a secret ballot before a strike, then facing IRA terrorism and Unionist opposition when he launched what became the start of the peace process, then watching the fall of the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain and being responsible for the massive UK deployment to help liberate Kuwait. Told with a sharp recollection of his fifty years in Parliament, Tom King''s memoirs cover a particularly interesting period of history and his part in shaping the events that led up to the world we live in now.
