Critics Review
‘Not many showbiz memoirs are like All About My Mother, a thrilling, chilling, uproarious and unputdownable account of Rigg by her only child and occasional co-star, Rachael Stirling…The prose has the raw and bloody streak of Olivia Laing or Lara Feigel: it is the author’s experiment upon herself, a test of how clear-eyed she dares to be about her mother and the wounds she gave her’ * The Times *
‘Beautifully written by her daughter, this is a funny and intimate eulogy to the 60s star of The Avengers who went on to specialise in fierce, complicated women…Her book doesn’t shrink from her mother’s flaws and contradictions, but it remains, above all, a feel-good tale and a love letter’
* Guardian *‘After she’d kicked [Rachael’s] fucking teeth in, her Ma would be incredibly proud’ * JOHN NIVEN *
‘It is IMPOSSIBLE for a book to be more delightful than this… Diana Rigg lives again in her daughter’s blazing love-letter cum cocktail party. A game-changing glitter-cannon of a book’ * Caitlin Moran *
