The Amazingly Astonishing Story

£12.99

Deeply funny and deeply sad, this memoir is a frank look into a child’s tumultuous mind, a classic story of a working-class girl growing up in the sixties. Her Catholic upbringing, a father torn between daughter and new wife, her irreverent imagination and determination to enjoy life, mean this really is an amazing story (including meeting the Beatles).
