A Mind of My Own

A feral kid from Islington, a place at the Anna Scher Theatre and a life told straight
Reading guide
This is a standalone memoir, so there is no order to follow. Start at the beginning, with her childhood on the Islington estate.
The book moves from a motherless childhood on an Islington estate, through a place at the Anna Scher Theatre and her first job at 17, to success as an actress and writer and the national fame that followed.

Description

Kathy Burke was a motherless kid roaming an Islington estate, doing things her own way long before anyone was paying attention. A Mind of My Own begins there and follows her through a place at the Anna Scher Theatre, her start in work at 17 and the success that came as an actress and writer, along with national fame and some of the country's best-loved catchphrases.

Told with the bluntness and wit she is known for, the memoir is as much the story of her class, her gender and her time as it is the story of one life. The publisher calls it funny, profound and deeply entertaining, and it is written for anyone who likes their life stories unvarnished and full of heart.
