knitnat Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Sounds great. Loved her in the Vicar of Dibley. Hope it comes out to Oz! Quote
poppy Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 That sounds great Michelle, I love Dawn French especially in The Vicar of Dibley. Does she talk much about her marriage to Lenny Henry? I really like him too. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm very tempted to put this on my Christmas list. Quote
madcow Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm very tempted to put this on my Christmas list. Me too Quote
Michelle Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 That sounds great Michelle, I love Dawn French especially in The Vicar of Dibley. Does she talk much about her marriage to Lenny Henry? I really like him too. Yes, she talks about 'Len', and also about their daughter. It's not been the most straight forward marriage, and she's very honest about that.. but she obviously loves them very much. Quote
Weave Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Great review Michelle, I am adding to my wish list too x Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I really want to read this. I think it's going to be on my Christmas list - as well as a few others. Quote
Janet Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I want to read this too! I think I'll see if the library have it at some stage because I don't like buying paperbacks. If anyone does want it, it's half price in Tesco at the moment. Quote
Icecream Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I really want this one too. I love Dawn French and it would be good to understand her character better. I glimpsed it earlier in the christmas magazine I picked up from Tesco. Quote
Inver Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I'm very tempted to put this on my Christmas list. :D Quote
knitnat Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Any Aussies out there...saw this book yesterday in Myer so it has made it's way to our sunny climes! (Enjoy the irony here...see weather for today thread!) Quote
Anika Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Didn't realize she had written a book about herself since I haven't seen it over here. She's one of my favorite comediennes though so I will look for this one! Quote
deneng Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I have just read this as my first ' I am now retired and can read again' book. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Dawn French's humour shows throughout the book but there is a serious thread running through it as well. I loved reading about her chilhood , teenage years, her family and also about her adult years. Thank you Michelle for introducing me to this book. Oh well on to my next one now. Looking forward to it. Quote
kelmaria Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I've borrowed dear fatty from the library. I've only read a little bit,but it's good so far. Quote
