A place at the Anna Scher Theatre in her teens changed everything, leading to unimaginable success as an actress and writer, national fame, and a career that has left an indelible mark on British culture. But the rare gift that has always set her apart—beyond the stage or screen—is her ability to see the truth and tell it like it is, with unflinching honesty and devastating wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eIn this spellbinding memoir, Burke traces the arc from feral, motherless child to one of Britain's most distinctive voices. This is not merely her story; it is the story of her class, her gender and her time—funny, profound and deeply entertaining. With characteristic candour, she reflects on the moments that shaped her: the early struggles, the triumphs at Cannes, the encounters with legends like Peter Cook, and the wild nights that define a life lived boldly and without apology. As Caitlin Moran observes, this is a book about a woman who has always done things her own way and paid no mind to the consequences. \u003cem\u003eA Mind of My Own\u003c\/em\u003e is glorious, very funny and resolutely no-nonsense—a portrait of an artist and a time told by someone who has never shied away from the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Literary Cat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52865288372488,"sku":"9781398548145","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/7688\/0392\/files\/9781398548145.jpg?v=1764019714","url":"https:\/\/literarycatbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/a-mind-of-my-own-by-kathy-burke","provider":"Literary Cat Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
