Publisher's Summary

'Mischievous and measured, Joanna Lumley gives us a remarkable portrait of a groovy life'
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'

Finally!

I am so happy Joanna released an audio version of the book. I love hearing her talking about her life, career, and outlook. She is so well spoken, and has such a great point-of-view. This listen, albeit short, will put you in a great mood and inspire you to make the most out of life and your passions. The only complaint is that I wish it was longer! She wrote a more in-depth memoir "Stare Back and Smile" which covers the first half of her career, and I hope she records an audio version of that too!
