Rebecca Tyrrel Bücher

If Jane Austen and Jack Benny collborated on a book together this is what they would`ve come up with.` - Nigella Lawson Bright, funny and utterly compelling, Rebecca Tyrrel`s voice is both refreshingly honest and deliciously self-deprecating. Taken from her popular column in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, this series of previously published pieces interlinked with small introductions to give the book a narrative structure is at once funny, acerbic and infuriating. Filled with a cast of characters and themes such as the author`s husband Matthew Norman`s medical neuroses; her son Louis`s obsession with trains; her own imaginary shrink, George Sanders, who lives in the garden shed; Tim, the car dealer; and the `we have no friends` syndrome, this is a novel that will make readers laugh out loud with a sense of self-recognition. Fans of the column will love to revisit, and new readers will delight in it. The perfect present for those who need to be introduced to daily life in a neurotic West London household.

Rebecca Tyrrel paints a vivid picture of the life of Camilla Parker Bowles—jolly, horsey, laid-back Camilla, loyal friend, loving mother, whose "open" county marriage was no one's business until it emerged that the other man in it was the heir to the throne. To her critics, Camilla will always be a manipulative marriage breaker, the woman who took on the "People's Princess" and won. But if nothing else, she is constant—a dignified consort, who has endured years of public vilification and never answered back. With the help of friends and county contacts, royal reporters and palace insiders, Tyrrel goes behind the scenes of an extraordinary love story—a story of romance and tragedy, which has rocked the monarchy to its foundations and yet doggedly prevailed.
