Rock stars to royalty, society to sobriety, get to know the real
Susannah Constantine in the hottest memoir of the year
'Sensational, juicy, gossipy, filthy and bravely honest in equal
measure, Susannah Constantine's memoir is a rollicking romp through
the upper middle classes' SUNDAY TIMES, 'BEST BIOGRAPHY AND MEMOIR
BOOKS OF 2022' 'Hilarious and honest. A book for anyone who's after
laughter, tears and one hell of a rollercoaster ride' GOOD
HOUSEKEEPING, 'BOOKS OF THE YEAR' 'Absolutely brilliant' ELTON JOHN
'Wildly fun' DAILY TELEGRAPH, 'BEST BOOKS OF 2022' 'Sensational,
juicy, honest, terrific - it reminded me of reading Lady Anne
Glenconner' GRAHAM NORTON, Virgin Radio 'Hilarious and unsparing.
An extraordinary story' REV. RICHARD COLES, Saturday Live 'Bonkers
and brilliant. With comedy and candour, she bares her soul . . .
Magnificent' SUNDAY MAIL 'There is a lot we can't mention on this
show - you have to buy the book to find out what we mean' STEVE
WRIGHT, BBC RADIO 2 __________ If you think you know Susannah
Constantine you may be surprised to learn the truth. That she made
her name as a 'style guru' from What Not to Wear is actually the
least interesting thing about her. Hers is a tale full to the brim
with extraordinary anecdotes. From lavatory dramas with Princess
Margaret, to behind-the-scenes power struggles between Thatcher and
the Queen at Balmoral and eye-opening sex-club etiquette with pop
royalty - her social landscape has been nothing, if not varied. But
appearances are deceptive and beneath it all, life had a darker
side: her mother's bipolar disorder, her father's inability to cope
and her own subsequent alcoholism. Somehow she had to forge her own
life, away from the expectations of others. Told with gobsmacking
honesty and great dollops of humour, Ready For Absolutely Nothing
is essential reading for anyone who loves a good memoir but
secretly just wants to read the naughty bits. __________
'Wonderfully written, very funny, but more than anything completely
genuine' LADY ANNE GLENCONNER, author of Lady in Waiting 'A romp .
. . Constantine comes across as a trooper with a filthy sense of
humour' THE TIMES 'A rollicking ride . . . What a life' SUNDAY
TIMES 'Fascinating, an incredible life' Christine Lampard on
LORRAINE 'Shrewd, funny, ideally candid and written with great
confidence, brio and aplomb. A feisty, thought-provoking delight'
WILLIAM BOYD 'A treasure trove of previously untold stories . . . A
riveting read' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'Gives readers a fascinating
insight into [her] extraordinary life' WOMAN & HOME
'Entertaining and funny' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Sparkling' DAILY MAIL
'Fascinating' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Funny . . . Never dull' GUARDIAN
'Revealing' PRIMA 'We lunched better than we danced' ANTON DU BEKE
'Exuberant' i
