About this listen

 Roberta Taylor has written a bittersweet and ultimately unforgettable memoir of her early life in South London in the 50s. Too Many Mothers is a portrait of an embattled family at war with itself and the outside world. From petty crime to pet monkeys, tender romance to emotional blackmail, illegitimacy, adoption, and even murder. You won't be able to put this book down!©2006 Roberta Taylor (P)2006 Orion Publishing Group Ltd Women Crime Emotionally Gripping

Was so happy to see it on Audio. I enjoyed it even more, especially as it was read by the late great lady herself. I always thought she was a brilliant actress & was so sad when I heard she had died. Brilliant book. Will listen again at some point.

Had already read the book a few years ago
