The Amazingly Astonishing Story by Lucy Gannon
Deeply funny and sad, this memoir is a frank look into a child's tumultuous mind, a classic story of a working-class girl growing up in the 60s. Her Catholic upbringing, a father torn between daughter and new wife, her irreverent imagination and determination to enjoy life, mean this really is an amazing story (including meeting the Beatles).
After leaving the army Gannon became a social worker and then a nurse before turning to writing. She is the author of 8 plays and 18 tv dramas or series, including 'The Best of Men', 'Soldier Soldier', 'Peak Practice', 'Bramwell', and 'Dad'. She won the Richard Burton Award for New Playwrights and has been writer in residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Gannon is currently developing scripts and mentoring writers for BBC Wales and contemplating two further volumes of memoir. She lives on the coast, in the far west of Ceredigion.
