Part self-help guide, part heartfelt, brutally frank reappraisal of Bel Littlejohn's life to date, this work deals with such issues as: Diana, Princess of Wales; coping with a living mother at Christmas-time; Louise Woodward; and living with a verucca. The volume, compiled from Bel's Observer column, is about nothing less than the emotional rebirth of New Britain, as chronicled by the woman who acted as its midwife.
