No Room for Secrets por Joanna Lumley
3.5*
If you've heard the lovely Joanna Lumley speak, you will thoroughly enjoy this, I clearly heard her voice throughout the book. Written as a conversation between herself and an interviewer, she natters on about family life, her house, mementoes and things that are important to her. When I'd finished, it felt like the end of a happy day spent chatting with a friend. I sighed as I put the book down, stood up and went off to bring in the washing.
Thoroughly enjoyable reading. Joanna Lumley hasn't had her success handed to her on a plate, she's worked hard for it! This will show you how, it's her story from the beginning up to when she starts to 'becomes famous" :)
Joanna Lumley is stunningly beautiful, was a model, a very accomplished actress, a hilariously-funny comedian (Absolutely Fabulous http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/abfab) and a very successful animal and human rights activist and is in fact considered a National Treasure in Nepal since she won the Gurkhas the right to settle in the UK after service in the British Army.
You would think that with all this material she would have written a really interesting book, but it wasn't. The structure, of going room by room in a house and using that and the objects within it as a jumping-off point for relating events in her life was soft, more suited to one of the people called 'celebrities' who really haven't done anything much except employ PR companies to get their picture everywhere. The fact that she seemed to be terribly nice and no one ever said a bad word to her or did her wrong is also soft. A drop of the hard stuff, a little gall, a squeeze of acid brightens up an otherwise bland dish, and so it is with a biography. Mind, it would be good serialised in a woman's magazine illustrated by Patsy Joanna dressed impossibly well showing us around her house.
But I'm not sorry she can't write particularly well, she'd be perfect if she could and then I'd have to hate her!
