At My Mother's Knee... And Other Low Joints (2008)

A warts and all description of the author's life up to age 18 when his father died. Impressive recall of childhood incidents. ( )

Paul is bringing back many childhood memories for me, a lot of the characters and phrases are very familiar. Scousers are a big part of North Wales, as many families from Liverpool would holiday on the North Wales Coast. Dont know how the content of the book converts for those who sadly lack the ability to understand Northern humour, (dry and witty), but Paul portrays it well. So many times Ive had to put the book down because I'm giggling so much. A great read, looking forward to the next part ( )

Paul O Grady leaves no stone unturned with this autobiography. Filled with his usual humour and sad times, Paul lets us delve into his past. A well worth satisfying read. ( )
