The hilarious and heartfelt memoir from Gavin and Stacey star and national treasure, Joanna Page.
Funny, candid, and endlessly surprising, Joanna's memoir lifts-the-lid on her extraordinary journey from Treboeth, a tiny town outside Swansea, to star of stage and screen, with starring roles in From Hell, Love Actually before winning the hearts of the nation as her much-loved character Stacey in Gavin and Stacey.
Inside, Joanna details her early life growing up in Wales; a life filled with family, friendly neighbours and days-upon-days at the beach to the sudden shock of moving to London at 18 - totally alone - to take her place at RADA, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the world.
From then on, Joanna has never stopped working and she will reveal the huge highs of performing at the very top of an actor's abilities to wonderful audiences, to the hidden crashing lows of exhaustion, rejection and loneliness. Joanna's own story features an extraordinary cast including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp, Emma Thompson, Heather Graham to Martin Freeman and, of course, Ruth Jones and James Cordon. With her usual candour, Joanna has a riot of stories to share about her misadventures in showbiz in this uproariously funny memoir, as she opens up about life behind the scenes of Gavin and Stacey and the cast's emotional goodbye, as well as her unfettered tales of marriage and motherhood, as a mother to four children under the age of 10. It's an unforgettable read.
