Too Many Mothers – Roberta Taylor : Best known for her roles in EastEnders and The Bill actress Roberta Taylor is also an accomplished writer, and this moving memoir of her early life has spent weeks on the bestseller lists.
Roberta’s distinctive voice really brings Too Many Mothers to life in this portrait of an embattled family at war with itself and the outside world; From petty crime: pet monkeys, tender romance to emotional blackmail, illegitimacy, adoption and even murder, Roberta Taylor has written a bittersweet and memoir of her early life.
This is another one of these books which you will find hard to put down. Its really well written. Its sad, funny. There are rough, tough women, hardship, tears but also lots of hope. I highly recommend it to those interested who are interested in life in East-end London in the past. A lovely book.
