My book group (well,four friends that enjoy eating , drinking, gossiping together - oh and discussing a book - once a month)want to read an autobiography this month and would love some recommendations - personally I need inspiration beyond the normal celeb pre-christmas offering, call me a book snob but billie/kerrie catona/any number of footballers 21 year old lives don't really appeal!
Any ideas would be welcomed, has to be a gripping read as one member is off to morroco for two weeks (I know, we're not talking to her) and it's to be her beach read!
