About this listen

 'Mischievous and measured, Joanna Lumley gives us a remarkable portrait of a groovy life'
The Times

'Immensely fun'
Evening Standard

Joanna Lumley is one of Britain's undisputed national treasures, who has lived many lives: a single mum; a voiceover artist; a TV presenter; an author; a former model and Bond girl; a human rights activist for Survival International and the Gurkha Justice Campaign; and as an iconic, award-winning actor, best known for her roles in timeless shows like Absolutely Fabulous and The New Avengers.

In Absolutely, Joanna tells her story, from the very beginning up until the present day, in her own glamorous, wickedly funny style.

'Captures perfectly the mixture of poshness and larkiness that has captivated audiences'
Daily Mail

'Her beauty does not fade and her unquenchable spirit for adventure seems more apparent than ever'
Daily Express©2011 Joanna Lumley (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Film & TV Women Celebrity Entertainment Heartfelt Funny Memoir

The story of this fantastic lady is awe inspiring.
I only remember the latter parts of her career, after The Avengers & Bond!
Ms Lumley has written an excellent autobiography, I only wish I'd known the struggles she had, because I don't remember her being seen in a poor light!
Thank you for this fantastic listen, it was really, really awesome and fun!

An incredible listen with the soothing tones of the incredible Joanna. She brought the stories to life with enthusiasm, warmth, respect and passion. A fascinating memoir, I hope she does many more! I’m ready for an adventure now!

Absolutely Awesome!!

I can’t understand why such short audiobooks -this is less than 3 hrs- cost the same in credits as those 10, 12 or even longer.

I loved listening to Joanna’s story . My criticism is that there was not enough of them in this short audible book .

Excellent book but could have been longer .
