A memoir of motherhood and marriage that will make you laugh and
cry - and then laugh again 'This is the sort of book that made me
want to be the person who wrote it. Pithy, painful and very, very
funny' Emma Thompson '[A] mix of comedy and emotion that makes up
this warm and intimate memoir ... This is a funny, affectionate
memoir about being an unconventional parent' Daily Mail Julia
Sweeney was nearing forty, and quite famous, when she got on a
flight to China to turn her life upside down. She had a flourishing
career as a comedienne and performer, ample friends and admirers,
but what she didn't have was a child and, after a string of
non-committal boyfriends, she decided to adopt alone. Mulan was
one-and-a-half years old when she met her new mother, and every bit
as feisty as the Disney character (whom she was emphatically not
named for). If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother is the story of
this unexpected mother-daughter pair who eventually became - to
Julia's astonishment and in a hilariously unconventional way - a
mother-daughter-father trio. From being mistaken for her daughter's
grandmother to her tragically short-lived belief that knitting a
man a sweater will make him commit to you, Julia's memoir is at
once hilarious, poignant, provocative and wise. It is a story of
adoption, Hollywood, dogs, death, marriage, Santa Claus, race and
religion, the birds, the bees (and the frogs...) and everything
else along the way.
