About this ebook

'Mischievous and measured' The Times
'Immensely fun' Evening Standard
'Captures perfectly the mixture of poshness and larkiness' Daily Mail

Joanna Lumley is one of Britain's undisputed national treasures, who has lived many lives: a single mum; a voiceover artist; a TV presenter; an author; a former model and Bond girl; a human rights activist for Survival International and the Gurkha Justice Campaign; and as an iconic, award-winning actor, best known for her roles in timeless shows like Absolutely Fabulous and The New Avengers.

In Absolutely, Joanna tells her story, from the very beginning up until the present day, in her own glamorous, wickedly funny style.

'Joanna Lumley's Absolutely is what Alan Sugar would probably call "a breath of fresh air in a world full of c****"' Tanya Gold, Daily Telegraph

'Her beauty does not fade and her unquenchable spirit for adventure seems more apparent than ever'
Daily Express

No airs, straight forward and entertaining. Born close to the end of the British Raj, boarding school all aspects typical of upper middle class up bringing with out pretension. We learn more about her parents, son and husband and her greatest achievement, helping retired Ghurka Soldiers get their much deserved pensions and benefits. The historically the British Government does not treat those well, who give them great loyalty. It just makes me admire her more.

£10.99 to scan a book and sell to the readers. An absolutely fabulous scam.
