Book review: Varadkar’s overview of his time in politics carefully avoids his failings

'Speaking My Mind' is a fluid account of Leo Varadkar's life and work and it is an engaging read that touches on politics and public life

Former taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s struggles with keeping his sexuality from the public glare are detailed in ‘Speaking My Mind’, which moves through his early years and his rise in politics, to eventually reaching the apex of Ireland’s political ladder. Picture: Fran Veale/Julien Behal Photography
