Bravemouth

Book excerpt: Mrs Billy Connolly's tale of a more-than-usually extraordinary year in the life of living with her husband is as insightful, entertaining, serious and wacky as you'd expect from the author of the megaselling BILLY. BRAVEMOUTH is the ultimate insider's view of his filming, his charity works, his sixtieth 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 that combine to make this into a must-read for Billy and Pamela's millions of fans.
