the death of his father, the author, broadcaster and art historian Kenneth Clark, from whom Clark inherited Saltwood Castle in Hythe, Kent. In the very next entry in the diary, we get an insight into one of Clark's recurring lapses with the opposite sex. His opponent at the election, the Labour candidate, was 22-year-old Frances Holland, of whom Clark records; Clark is, at this time, also carrying on an adulterous affair with Valerie Harkess, the wife of a South African judge, and her two daughters (to whom he referred collectively as "the coven"). Clark made no effort to disguise the coven's identity. The affair became public knowledge in 1992 after Clark left the House of Commons, and it was cited in the Harkess divorce case. 1993 non-fiction books 2000 non-fiction books 2002 non-fiction books Series of books Books about politics of the United Kingdom Diaries
