Why did you write it?

Oona King (Author and Former Member of Parliament) gives expert video advice on: What is 'House Music' about?; Why did you write it?; Do you miss Parliament? and more...

I wrote it because it was my diary. I have always kept a diary from when I was 11. My mum gave me a diary when I was 11, but I'm not one of those people that writes a diary every night. In fact, there are times when I haven't written in it for months and months at a time. It's not meant to be a daily diary. Rather, it's a snapshot of what life was like at the House of Commons.
