About this deal

Sara Cox, Jo Whiley and Edith Bowman pretty much kept me company for my teenage years via their Radio One shows and now Sara Cox keeps me company via Radio Two (I know I’m getting old) so it wouldn’t be unfair to say I’ve grown up with her anecdotes and Bolton-ish ways. I don’t know if she qualifies as a national treasure yet but I imagine that’s only a matter of time, a consensus that could only been expedited by ‘Till the cows come home’ her memoir that details the first 20 years of her life. The Bitterest Pill". Britfilms.com. 20 February 2007. Archived from the original on 11 August 2007 . Retrieved 9 March 2011. Light and interesting autobiography, told in the unmistakable Lancashire tones of Sarah Cox about the first twenty odd years of her life. I really only know Sara Cox (and there's a reason why I left the h on in the first sentance - read to find out why) from the radio, first Radio 1, and these days with the drivetime slot on BBC Radio 2 (wish they'd given her the breakfast slot). Oh, and I'm sure I've seen her on a pottery competition on tv. Anyway... Sara Cox's guests share their favourite reads in episode 6 of Between the Covers.

Retrieved 29 October 2018.Griff says: “This is pure comfort and joy. I’ve read a lot of books about The Beatles but this is easily the most joyous read because it’s not just full of information about The Beatles … it also looks at the world around them.” I think this book was pretty much what I expected from Sara Cox - light hearted, humorous (but not lol) and easy to whizz through. However, it was also vacuous. The characters were boring and the plot predictable and although I’m sure some will enjoy the simple escapism and sweet story of women becoming friends through their pottery class, there just wasn’t enough to capture my attention. I would definitely recommend this as a lovely light hearted read and am looking forward to reading more from the author in the future.
