Due 23rd October. Even when she was a kid in Islington, Kathy Burke did things her own way. She became an actor in 1982 and by the mid-1990s Kathy was a household name. Kathy has always had a mind of her own. Funny and wise, this is her memoir.

Pre-order now. A fascinating new book from the author of "Everyday Sexism" and "Fix The System not the Women"
