 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR, NOW UPDATED WITH NEW MATERIAL

Readers LOVE Everything is Everything:
'Clive Myrie is one heck of an author' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Well written and thought provoking. One to come back to again' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Thoughtful, analytical, deeply caring and, at times, very funny' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

-----------------

As a Bolton teenager with a paper round, Clive Myrie read all the newspapers he delivered from cover to cover and dreamed of becoming a journalist. In this deeply personal memoir, he tells how his family history has influenced his view of the world, introducing us to his Windrush generation parents, a great grandfather who helped build the Panama Canal, and a great uncle who fought in the First World War, later to become a prominent police detective in Jamaica.

He reflects on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he's encountered in thirty years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time (most recently from Ukraine and Israel), showing us how those experiences gave him a better idea of what it means to be an outsider. He tells of his pride in his roots, but his determination not to be defined by his background in dealing with the challenges of race and class to succeed at the highest level.

Moving, engaging, revealing, Everything is Everything is a story of love and hate - but also hope.

I learnt so much about Clive Myrie and found the majority of it really interesting and informative but found the last couple of chapters less compelling. I think this probably reflects a divergence of our views on the topics covered.

Insightful look at a man we think we know

What an interesting life Clive Myrie has led. What interesting lives and events he has witnessed. More than this, it left me with so many things to think about and is delivered so well.
I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Fabulous

I have always enjoyed watching Clive on the news, on current affairs programs and documentaries but knew little about the man behind the lens.

This was a thought provoking and inspiring listen and I could listen to his voice all day.

I highly recommend listening and hope many people do. At times it left me frustrated and saddened at how some people still feel superior to black members of society whose lives have been so much harder than they needed to be but I hope inspirational, talented people like Clive open up their eyes and hearts up to a changing and better Britain.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, highly recommended
