Reviews

Oh Miriam! risks the curse of the sequel, and pulls it off . . . A force of nature, a tour de farce. Bold, brave and bright, but also revealing, shocking and touching. Miriam is an icon, a cocksucker - and the star of her show
*ROBERT McCRUM, Independent*

Our naughtiest national treasure . . . famously filthy, funny and phlegmatic . . . Oh Miriam! is Margolyes's manifesto for a fulfilled life . . . She loves to tell it straight. And the older she gets, the straighter she tells it
*SIMON HATTENSTONE, Guardian*

Irrepressible . . . A life-enhancing rollercoaster of a ride . . . this book is like Margolyes herself - outspoken, ebullient and unexpectedly wise
*EMMA LEE-POTTER, Daily Express*

Snortingly funny . . . deliciously unbridled . . . There is something heroic in her unruliness. Let Miriam take the lead and enjoy the show
*RHIK SAMADDER, Observer*

Insanely interesting, full of profanity and profundity, Oh Miriam!'s title comes from all the people who have ever exclaimed her name in every tone from horror to hilarity; and her unfiltered personality leaps off the page - honesty, kindness, generosity, sanity, erudition, outspokenness
*SUZANNE HARRINGTON, Irish Examiner*

Miriam Margolyes is a force to be reckoned with . . . I challenge anyone not to be entertained by this follow-up to This Much is True
*Good Housekeeping*

Endearingly eccentric
