From her early family life in Singapore and her convent school days to her student ambitions at Birmingham and Oxford, and her long-serving years as an MP, this is the life story of one of our most outspoken and celebrated politicians. Offering unique insight into her time as a Minister in three Departments and the Shadow Cabinet in the 1990's, Ann also explains the roots of her conversion to Catholicism in 1993 and her deeply held views on abortion and gay marriage. A rare anti-hunting Tory, who campaigned for prison education and once put on a miner's overalls to go down a coal mine, Ann Widdecombe has never been afraid of controversy. Her memoirs reveal a singular personality who lives life to the full. From feisty and witty appearances on 'Have I Got News For You' to her unforgettable and star-turning performances on 'Strictly Come Dancing', Ann has earned her place in the public's affections and has been heralded as a 'national living treasure' by The Guardian. Also containing Ann's trenchant views on the Coalition, MP's expenses and the state of the nation, this is a provocative and entertaining read. Frank, fearless and engaging, Ann's autobiography will delight her admirers and win her yet more fans. See my book ID rja595016 for subject'sw biography.

Niall Quinn began his footballing life in a different time, a different place - an era of low wages, big strikers and terraced crowds. In nineteen years he has seen the game grow and change almost beyond recognition. He was on his way to becoming legend in his favourite sport of hurling when Arsenal came and took him away to London. Against the odds he made it and retained something of himself along the way. He has experienced both the ups, includng two World Cups and the downs - two career-threatening cruciate ligament injuries and near-fatal septicaemia. His happy-go-lucky approach to life disguises an iron resolve which kept his career alive through injury, criticism and setbacks. After a long learning curve which featured hard drinking and disastrous gambling, he settled into a club and into a life which suited him when he moved to Sunderland AFC. He has remained there during the most radical transformation in the club's fortunes, the changes in his own career mirroring those at the Stadium of Light. In his autobiography he looks at what went on behind the scenes during Ireland's tumultuous 2002 World Cup campaign and talks about his own efforts at kick-starting a reconciliation when Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy went to war. As the man in the middle his account offers an extraordinary perspective on events in Saipan and beyond. In his long-awaited autobiography Niall Quinn opens the doors to the inner life of a footballer - the failings, the temptations, the adventures and the good times. Born in Dublin in 1966. He scored on his league debut for Arsenal, against Liverpool in 1985 and made 67 league appearances for them before moving to Manchester City in March 1990 for £700.000. He left the club for Sunderland after scoring 66 league goals in 203 games. Thanks to the joint efforts of Sunderland and the Football Association of Ireland he was granted a charity game in May 2002, a mark of the respect in which he is held by both club and country. He has played 91 times for the Republic of Ireland since his debut in 1986,and in October 2001, on his 35th birthday, he became his country's all-time leading goalscorer.

It is only the minimal faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading. Despite them, it really is still an acceptable copy for its cleanliness. A collection of author's biographical stories and reminiscences from his life. How did a boy from small-town New York become one of the world's most successful writers? On the morning he was born, he nearly died. Growing up, he didn't love to read. That changed. He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid." He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party. He's only been in love twice. Both times are amazing. Dolly Parton once sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. Three American presidents have invited him to golf with them. These are the stories of James Patterson's life: the most anticipated memoir of 2022.
