The Kindness of Strangers by Kate Adie

The Kindness of Strangers by Kate Adie

Kate Adie has reported from many of the world's trouble spots since she joined the BBC in 1969. This autobiography covers her experiences in Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Tiananmen Square and the Gulf War of 1991, revealing her extraordinarily demanding life at the heart of the action.

Adie has reinvented herself as a writer with such a delightful, light touch, such an unexpected eye for the absurd, that her memoir at times bears comparison with Evelyn Waugh..delicious vignettes. Adie shows a striking ability to convey in a few pages an era, a war or a country. She is as classy an act on the page as she is on the screen - Independent

The Kindness of Strangers is a rattling good read - Martin Bell, The Times

The Kindness of Strangers is a rollicking good read - witty, well written and packed with fascinating stories - Daily Telegraph

Adie's autobiography is tireless and entertaining - Observer

An inspirational book for any person wondering what it takes to make it. An exceptional account of a remarkable woman - Michael Parkinson

Kate Adie was born in Sunderland and educated at Newcastle University. She joined the BBC in 1969 and has been their Chief News Correspondent since 1989. She was awarded the OBE in 1993.
