Critic Reviews
“"I was enthralled . . . a celebrity memoir which is actually worth reading as a work of literature."”
If you can imagine Julie Walters sitting down to tell you the story of her life...this earthy, moving, none too sentimental memoir...is just as you would imagine it. - INDEPENDENT
characteristically amusing and astute - GOOD BOOK GUIDEAbout the Author
