Mrs Billy Connolly’s tale of a more-than-usually extraordinary year in the life of living with her husband offers an insider’s view of his filming, his charity works, his 60th birthday party, the TV and includes personal insight into what makes him tick, and what makes her tick (it’s her year too). It’s a celebration but it’s interspersed with serious reflection – both on what he does and what she does (the contrast between the inherent seriousness of what she does, compared to the zaniness of what he does). The nature of fame, the challenges of age, the triumph-over-adversity are all themes underlying the many anecdotes collected in this book.
