 REMINISCE THIS | THE BRITISH NOSTALGIA SITE
Keeler had run away from home at the age of 16 and become a showgirl at Murray's cabaret club in Soho where she had befriended Ward who soon introduced her into a world of the rich and famous, where charming and powerful men were only too eager to take her out.
Keeler and Ward often spent weekends at his cottage and according to Keeler, she and Profumo had merely flirted around the swimming pool and jokingly tried on suits of armour in the rooms of the mansion.
Keeler was later found guilty on unrelated perjury charges - for not attending as a witness for the trial of a man who was shot at her home - and sentenced to nine months in Holloway Prison.

Christine Keeler sits rolling the slimmest of cigarettes under a framed line-drawing on the wall behind her of a hangdog Harold Macmillan.
Keeler is generally calm, philosophical, as she relates this history, but she flares up at anything I say that carries even the vaguest implication that she was a call girl.
Keeler's version of the events of her own life is, as she tells it, both temptingly plausible and impossible to verify.

Christine’s answer is that she does not wish to die and allow the lies to become History.As she says,”No one else knows the whole story.
This book is essentially Christine’s story, and the reader must decided for him/herself just how much of it is slanted to present a sympathetic picture of Christine.Certainly the impression given is very much of a young girl who was duped by an older, devious man, and led along the path to ruin.
Christine writes matter-of-factly about events, which, scandalous as they were then, have today, perhaps, lost their power to shock.

The mystery about the scandal is why all the people involved, particularly Stephen Ward (the society osteopath who introduced Profumo to Keeler and who committed suicide the day he was found guilty of pimping at the Old Bailey), were pursued and punished to the lengths they were.
