'donated' by a friend, many thanks!! I've heard good things about this book so may have a quick flick through before I release it, I'm not much of a biography or memoirs fan though....
From amazon.co.uk-
Anne Robinson's mother was a cross between Robert Maxwell and Mother Teresa. When she 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 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?" This is a shocking, funny poignant, honest account of three generations of women - Anne's formidable mother; Anne; and her daughter Emma - plus Anne's downfall, including the shame of the years after the custody battle, her alcoholism and the triumph of returning to take a second go at life and making it work.
29/4/06- didn't get round to reading this so have slipped it onto the bookswap shelf at the R&R cafe attached to Cannons gym for someone else to enjoy.
