Product Description

Carol Thatcher has one of the most famous surnames in the world. But whatever anyone might feel about her august mother, SHE is one of the best-loved people in the country. Official. When she won ITV's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here..! it was positive proof that she touched the nation's hearts. Her unique mixture of bravery, honesty and humour won the day - and the show. Carol is a true original, a national treasure, with a magnificent turn of phrase and a unique story to tell.
In this memoir, she tells us about what it was like to grow up as The Milk Snatcher's daughter, to be the sister of the more (in)famous Mark, and to live a life that she describes as a 'swim-on part in the goldfish bowl'. As a schoolgirl, student, journalist and now TV personality and indefatigable world traveller, she lives life to the full. Hers is a rivetingly funny and revealing memoir, and as she hurtles from one incident and accident to another, you will relive your affection for her all over again.

Customer Reviews

what a good read !
Why oh why does this lass get such a bad press ?. I was fascinated by Carols memories. I cannot understand why she is accused of being unkind to her Mother?. Not one bit of it. There is clearly a lot of love between Mother and Daughter and huge respect for Margaret and also reflects on the human and softer side of her. The memories of Denis are touching and full of humour. I reommend the book to anyone who is prepared to put ill conceived prejudice on one side and enjoy a touching and interesting book and it will make you smile too !

This is an exellant read.I have not been a great fan of Carol Thatcher but it is obvious that she is very close to her parents and has been a great help to them for many years.Can't always have been easy.

Great Read
I bought this book to read during a hospital stay. Really enjoyed it as I can recall the days Carol refers to. It was good to have an 'insiders' view to those troubled times. Written with wit and compassion. Recommended.
