Today is the launch day for this glorious collection of reminiscences by one of the most precious people on the planet: Miriam Margolyes. As with her autobiography, This Much Is True, it was my honour and pleasure to direct Miriam narrating the audiobook. As you would expect from The Queen of Audiobooks, there are plenty of extraordinary vocal characters (some impressions, some inventions) but there’s also an emotional rawness, a touching vulnerability, a deep humanity - and oodles of fun.
If you listen to only one audiobook this year, make it Oh Miriam!. If you listen to two, then make it Oh Miriam! and This Much Is True. We are so lucky to share the planet with this gorgeous creature.
