Oona King House Music

- About Oona
“Although politics is my greatest passion, it is not my only passion. It probably takes up no more than half this book. Those whose interest is purely political (the majority of my political colleagues and political journalists) might be perturbed. Those who have no interest in politics might be deterred. But those who believe the personal is political should be fairly entertained.” Oona King
