ISBN: 9780241822197 - decline and falling over: a frank and funny memoir on ageing, 'full of jo's trademark wry wit and wonderful wisdom’ kathy burke (12 résultats)

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. An irreverent, funny and bullsh*t-free memoir on the realities of ageing from one of the UK's best-loved comedians.Jo Brand is getting on a bit and wants to tell you all about it. This is not a 'life begins after menopause' pep talk. This book will not tell you how to live longer or better. This book offers no guidance on being your 'best self'. Sorry. This is a book about relinquishing control, embracing the bed slippers and bathrobe, about not 'getting work done', the aches, pains, trials and tribulations - essentially everything you don't see from age-defying celebrities on Instagram. A riotous and hilarious memoir about how to do your 'second half' the Jo Brand way. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
