Hers is a tale full to the brim with extraordinary anecdotes...From lavatory dramas with Princess Margaret, eye-opening sex-club etiquette with pop royalty to behind-the-scenes power struggles between Thatcher and the Queen! Her social landscape has been nothing, if not varied. But appearances are deceptive and beneath it all, life had a dark side particularly her mother''s mental illness and, her father''s struggles with alcoholism. Somehow she had to forge her own life, away from the expectations of others. Told with gobsmacking honesty and great dollops of humour, Ready For Absolutely Nothing is essential reading for anyone who loves a good memoir but secretly just wants to read the naughty bits. __________ ''Wonderfully written, very funny, but more than anything completely genuine'' LADY ANNE GLENCONNER, author of Lady in Waiting ''A romp . . . Constantine comes across as a trooper with a filthy sense of humour'' THE TIMES ''A rollicking ride . . . What a life'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Fascinating, an incredible life'' Christine Lampard on LORRAINE ''Shrewd, funny, ideally candid and written with great confidence, brio and aplomb.
