This is for #recommendsday . I'm a huge fan of the culinary show TWO FAT LADIES, and Clarissa's memoir was touching! She made many waves for women in the law field at a very young age, and battled depression and addiction in her middle years. So sad she passed away. If you can get your hands on this one, you won't regret it!

Buddys_Momma I loved that show so much! The other host passed away way too early. Will have to look for this book! 8y
EvieBee @Buddys_Momma Yes! Right after the last season I believe. So sad! But she certainly lived a full life. 8y
LeahBergen That show was just pure FUN. 8y
EvieBee @LeahBergen Definitely! Wish there had been many more seasons. 8y

What an incredible life! I never really enjoyed watching The Two Fat Ladies on tv but this book had me hooked from the moment I started reading it. Clarissa Dickson Wright had a horrible childhood at the hands of her abusive father. As a young woman in London in the swinging sixties, she beat the odds and became a top barrister who was always the life of the party. And that's when the story truly begins!

EvieBee I adored this book as well! 8y
JDHawkins I definitely need to read this. I love watching that show. 8y
