À propos de l'auteur
Tiffany Murray's writing has appeared in Granta, the Guardian, the Telegraph, Sunday Times Style, GQ, Independent on Sunday and featured on BBC Radio 4. Her novels, Diamond Star Halo, Happy Accidents and Sugar Hall, have variously been shortlisted for the Wodehouse Bollinger Prize and received the Roger Deakin Award for nature writing. Tiffany has been a Hay Festival Fiction Fellow, a Fulbright scholar, a Senior Lecturer, a record company receptionist, and a dog walker in New York. She currently lives in a forest. My Family and Other Rock Stars is her first memoir.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
'Funny, vivid and touching, above all fizzing with joy. You will fall in love with Tiff, her hilarious no-nonsense mother, Joan, and a cast of hungry rock stars from Freddie Mercury to Siouxsie Sioux' Rachel Joyce
In a small corner of a Welsh field, Tiffany Murray is hiding with Boggle the dog, craving her mum's blackberry and apple crumble, and - if she's lucky - ice-cold lemonade. A sheep bleats. The smell of hay tickles her nose. The twang of a guitar and crack of a snare carry on the breeze.
It's the late 1970s, and Tiff and her mum, Joan, live at Rockfield, the iconic recording studios where some of the most famous rock albums of all time were recorded, and the background to Tiff's freewheeling, ever-changing whirlwind of a childhood.
My Family and Other Rock Stars is her truly unique story of growing up in a world where life included Cordon Bleu cookery, Freddie Mercury playing piano, a group of Hell's Angels recording for Lemmy, and even the hope of David Bowie appearing. But the one constant is her and Joan, building an unconventional family in the most unlikely of places.
'A rock and roll Cider With Rosie cooked up by Elizabeth David' Patrick Gale
'Magical . . . as scrumptious as the home-made mayonnaise, pumpkin soup and game pie coming out of Joan's kitchen' Daily Mail
'An insane amount of fun' Andrew Miller
'A love letter to a remarkable childhood' Sarah Winman
