Background and synopsis

edit

Featherstone, the Member of Parliament for Hornsey and Wood Green (2005–15) served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Equalities in the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. In this role she worked to ensure the legalisation of Same-sex marriage in the United Kingdom. Equal Ever After seeks to present a behind-the-scenes account of the details surrounding the fight for equal marriage rights and to "get my story and the story of the Liberal Democrats on the record."[1][2][3]

Reception

In a profile piece in the London Evening Standard, Katie Law described Equal Ever After as a "a minute-by-minute, tub-thumping, 326-page account."[4]
