This book was recommended by my mother as a better than average autobiography and I would tend to agree. It's not flowery or sentimental. The author tells us about her life in a matter of fact and unapologetic way. I did not realise that Ms Robinson had been one of the first women to rise to the higher echelons of written media in the UK, she plays this down and is forgiving of her male colleagues and their treatment of her. Maybe this is because of her battle with alcohol. I would definitely recommend this book. I look upon the author in a new light when I watch 'The Weakest Link' ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Anne Robinson's mother was a cross between Robert Maxwell and Mother Teresa. When Anne became a young reporter in Fleet Street, her mother, a wealthy market trader, bought her a mink coat and told her to have a facial once a month. But Anne Robinson's early success almost ended in her destruction. A doomed marriage was followed by a secret custody battle for her two-year-old daughter, Emma. 'Is it true?' her husband's barrister demanded in court, 'you once said you'd rather cover the Vietnam War than vacuum the sitting room?' A shocking, funny, poignant, honest account of three generations of women, Anne's formidable mother, Anne and her daughter Emma. Plus Anne's downfall. The shame of the years after the custody battle, Anne's alcoholism. And the triumph of returning to take a second go at life. And making it work. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
