Baggage: My Childhood by Janet Street-Porter
Born in working-class Fulham, Janet Street-Porter loathed her mother, tried to murder her sister, and had a friend who was given a life sentence for a contract killing. She found solace in unsuitable friendships and outrageous behaviour. A mesmerising account of growing up in post-war London with poignancy, mystery and a trademark black humour.
'An entertaining and often moving memoir, Baggage is written with all the fervour of a belligerent' -- Telegraph 20050115 'You read every page entertained, mesmerised and amazed' -- Independent on Sunday 20050102 'Her admirers will find the honesty with which she writes satisfying' -- Sunday Times 20050116 'Witty and extrovert, ruthlessly ambitious and unforgiving, Street-Porter would, on the evidence of this book, make a horrible enemy but a great friend' -- Independent on Sunday 20041219
Janet Street-Porter began her career at the Daily Mail and the Evening Standard. She has been a producer and broadcaster for LBC Radio, LWT, cable channel L!ve TV and the BBC, where she won a BAFTA for originality. She is now Editor-at-Large for the Independent.
