Episode 3
Francois Mitterrand kept his private life quiet for most of his career, but he had two families. Read by Henry Goodman.
For most of Francois Mitterrand's career, there was a gentleman's agreement among the French media that a politician's private life should not be splashed across the front pages.
And so Mitterrand's private life was kept quiet for most of his career - but he had two families and Philip Short, the author of this biography, has spoken both to his wife and his mistress.
