"'I'll never forget the first time John and I saw number twenty-six. We just knew it was going to be ours. It was so awful and ugly and repulsive in every way, not to mention the fact that it was located in a suburb I had sworn Id rather die than live in, that we knew we had a great chance of getting it.' And so Denise Scott moved into number twenty-six, with a husband, his circus equipment, a king-sized futon (but not a base), a Ventolin inhaler (to cope with stress-induced asthma), no savings to speak of and their newborn baby. Written with Denise's trademark candour, All that happened at number 26 is part memoir, part stand-up and shows exactly what it takes to hold it all together when you want to follow your career dreams, maintain the love in a marriage, bring up kids who will get up off the couch, and look after an ageing parent all while retaining a healthy sense of self-doubt"--Provided by publisher.
