Product Description

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.



About the Author

Carol Thatcher is the daughter of the late Sir Denis Thatcher and Baroness Thatcher, the former Prime Minister. She is a journalist, writer and broadcaster - and winner of 2005's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!

4.0 out of 5 stars what a good read !, 19 Mar 2009
By Rev. J. Cooper (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars carol thatcher, 1 Jul 2009
I did enjoy this book and I do like Carol Thatcher - I thought she was brilliant on I'm a Celebrity. My only criticism is the book seems to be more about her mother, remarkable woman that she is, than about Carol. For instance she never goes into personal detail about how she feels regarding school, friends, lovers, work....all the things that obviously play hugh parts in all our lives. Just got a bit fed up with hearing about "my mother" instead "me".

5.0 out of 5 stars Swim on Part in the Goldfish Bowl
I would have no idea how to rate this Book, for I have YET to receive it! I gave it the 5 Star only on the fact that I know Ms Thacher, not the CONTENT of the book. Read more
