Baggage - Janet Street-Porter

Baggage - Janet Street-Porter (2004)

When I lived in the UK I didn't watch a lot of TV, but Janet Street-Porter is a journo who turned up on a lot of shows over there.  The only thing we see her in here in NZ, are on 5 year old repeats of the F word.  Anyways I picked up this memoir from the library and liked the first page, so it seemed like a good choice to bring home.

What I didn't realise was that she was born in the 40's and it basically is a memoir of the circumstances of her birth, when both her parents were married to someone else, and a childhood growing up with strict parents and a sister she didn't like.  Then there is a series of boyfriends and sexploits as she tries to escape her homelife - you know usual 60s stuff.

So a 2/5 - interesting but not memorable.
