Summary
The Times
'Captures perfectly the mixture of poshness and larkiness that has captivated Joanna Lumley's audiences... thoughtful and amusing'
Daily Mail
'An actress with an extraordinarily varied life... [a] gloriously illustrated, entertaining memoir'
Woman & Home
'Immensely fun'
Evening Standard
Joanna Lumley is one of Britain's undisputed national treasures, who has lived many lives: a single mum; a voiceover artist; a TV presenter; an author; a former model and Bond girl; a human rights activist for Survival International and the Gurkha Justice Campaign; and as an iconic, award-winning actor, best known for her roles in timeless shows like Absolutely Fabulous and The New Avengers.
In Absolutely, Joanna tells her story, from the very beginning up until the present day, in her own glamorous, wickedly funny style.
'Lumley has done it all, from sex kitten and TV star to activist for the Gurkhas. Read about it here.' Independent
'Joanna Lumley is, for many, something of a national treasure'
Daily Express
'She writes beautifully'
Daily Telegraph
'She's the glamorous age-defying star of stage and screen, who is famous as Patsy from Ab Fab yet a passionate human rights campaigner. But as her autobiography reveals, Joana's life has seen her fight through poverty and being a single mum'

I loved listening to her voice
Joanna Lumley has the most beautiful soothing voice and I am so glad that she read her book herself.
she had a very colourful life and this comes across.
I particularly like the descriptions of her background and also her fight for the Gurka's justice. Well done!!

Lovely stories
i loved Joanna's stories and reading. The only drawback is that I am left wanting to hear more! It's a fascinating review of her life.

Excellent book but could have been longer .
I loved listening to Joanna’s story . My criticism is that there was not enough of them in this short audible book .

Enthralling
Read by Joanna herself, the many stories she shares come bursting to life, as does her remarkable upbringing and family history which I found fascinating. I listened to the whole thing in two sittings - the audio equivalent of un-put-down-able!

Entertainment, funny, and lovely narrating.
I liked it all. It was interesting and informative. Also some lovely humour and Lumley's voice is like velvet.

Lack of material
There was no thread, author jumped around. Expected more in depth history of the authors life.
