Sarah Brown, wife of former British prime minister, to pen memoir on life in Downing Street
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}LONDON (AP) — The wife of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is writing a behind-the-scenes memoir about life in 10 Downing St.
Sarah Brown told followers on social networking site Twitter that she had agreed to write the book for publisher Ebury. Its working title is "Behind the Black Door."
The publisher said Monday the book would tell readers what it's like "to shop with Special Branch (detectives)" and "cope with a bad hair day when Carla Bruni's in town."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Brown, a former public relations executive, married Britain's then-Treasury chief in 2000. He became prime minister in 2007 and left office in May. The couple have two sons, 6-year-old John and 3-year-old Fraser.
The book is due to be published in March.
