I Love the Bones of You
by Christopher Eccleston
Praise given for I Love the Bones of You

This is a superb book, full of revelations, as intense and tortured as its writer and not an easy ride at all.’ Marcus Berkmann – Daily Mail
- ‘The book I’d most like to find under my tree is Christopher Eccleston’s memoir I Love the Bones of You.’ Lorraine Kelly ― Woman & Home
