From Blackadder to Call the Midwife, from the Cadbury's Caramel Rabbit to Harry Potter, Miriam Margolyes is the outspoken great aunt (after two sherries) we all wish we had - this is (at last) her extraordinary life story, and it's well worth the wait.

Award-winning actor, creator of a myriad of memorable characters from Lady Whiteadder to Professor Sprout, Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure.

Now, at last, at the age of 80, she has finally decided to tell her extraordinary life story. And it's far richer and stranger than any part she's played.

Find out how being conceived in an air-raid gave her curly hair; what pranks led to her being known as the naughtiest girl Oxford High School ever had; how she ended up posing nude for Augustus John aged 17, being sent to Coventry by Monty Python and the Goodies and swearing on University Challenge (she was the first woman to say f--k on TV). This book is packed with unforgettable stories from why Bob Monkhouse was the best (male) kiss she's ever had to being told off by the queen. With a cast list stretching from Scorsese to Streisand, Leonardo di Caprio to Isaiah Berlin, This Much Is True is as warm and honest, as full of life and surprises, as she is.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An absolute hoot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2021

Any fans of Miriam know this is going to be an absolute hoot and it really is. My first laugh out loud moment was page 2 and this continued at odd funny moments throughout. Great insight into her university time, her radio work, voiceover. I suspect most of us will pick this up to see what on earth she'll say that's shocking in print and believe me this does not disappoint and is littered with comic shocking genius. I won't spoil a word as it wouldn't give her words justice. Comic gold, insightful.

Unapologetically Miriam!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2021

As the headline reads, this is unapologetically Miriam!
Her appearances on The Graham Norton show have brought her to many but what a stunningly varied adventure her life has been up to this point. We would have been cheated of so much had she not written this book!
Such a career (and, thankfully, ongoing); radio, tv, film and theatre.
This wonderful lady charts the highs and the lows (plenty of the latter ha ha, read it, you will see what I mean!) but throughout she is frank, honest and, more importantly, completely genuine.
What you see is what you get with this force of nature and this is pure, unadulterated Miriam - her story will shock, delight, amuse and sadden in parts but I have sailed through it with gusto and if you are anything like I am, it will make you love her that little bit more!
Thank you dear lady, it's been a joy!

Boring

Margolyes is a fine actress but her constant reference to being a lesbian and a jew negated any pleasure in reading g her story,too much I 'm afraid. We all are what we are but having it rammed done your throat nearly every other page put me off.

A self indulgent boastfest

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2021

Miriam Margolyes’ ability to state so often in so many ways how wonderful and brilliant she finds herself is a marvel in itself. Sadly it’s the only one you’ll find in this dull, self-congratulatory, narcissistic, utterly disappointing autobiography.

I read it as I used to like M.M. but I found this book too vulgar and crude in places and have just told a friend to cancel her copy that she was planning to take on holiday !!
