Maria Fyfe's political memoir tells the story of fourteen years in office from the point of view of an MP who did not always toe the party line. Here, she recounts some of the most significant moments of her political career, from the frustrating and infuriating to the rewarding, up until the bittersweet ending of her time in parliament in 2001.  From years in Opposition to New Labour and devolution, A Problem Like Maria concerns some of the most turbulent years of political history.
