It took a while to warm to the book and bizarrely it felt like it took Michelle time to find her voice too. The style in the beginning sounded like dictation , quite stilted and unsure... almost sterile. The fact that she had a collaborator was evident.
Gradually though she gained confidence and it lost its stilted tone. She recalls her early life as one of two daughters of a lone parent through her life and career and her roles as Cindy in EastEnders and Stella , landlady of the Rovers. show more Her proudest and dearest role though is that of being single mum to her daughter Maia whom she clearly adores.
Inevitably name dropping she also reveals things she has done which I didn't know...her work with Oxfam .( there was a well timed chapter discussing the desperation and cruelty towards street
children in Brazil...at time of reading Brazil is hosting the World Cup) as well as working with Barnados and the Terence Higgins Trust.
She also seemed primed not to dwell on misery.... hard times in her life she does reveal but I feel glosses over...as if her book bosses have said skim over misery ...misery doesnt sell well now.. and has picked happy moments... again ...interesting anecdotes dear...to latch on to.
Ive always been a big fan of Michelle and
I'm more illuminated about her now.
Am just sad she's now on a Sabbatical to take time out for her daughter. Will miss her. show less
