Author's Biography

Reviews

Shocking and funny in equal measure, and will have you weeping with laughter and sorrow - Independent on Sunday 

Timely confessional – zestfully observed, sharply written, and sprinkled with more lyricism and humour than a memoir of misery in Motherwell suggests - Independent 

Unlike most volumes of this kind, Maggie & Me is short on jokes and long on raw, pungent atmosphere. Barr has a keen eye for wincingly evocative detail... Expressed with a kind of grim lyricism - New Statesman 

A marvellous memoir – wrenching, funny and wise. I loved it! - Joanne Harris 
Price £14.99
