Firstborn Daughter

THE HILARIOUS NEW MEMOIR FROM COMEDIAN AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR KATHERINE RYAN

'Deeply, unexpectedly moving at points.... and, of course, funny. Shocking, confronting, in all its shameless truths.' The Times

'Super super funny... Katherine is unashamedly authentic', Romesh Ranganathan

'Unsurprisingly excellent, funny and thoughtful,' Aisling Bea

'Very funny but also very thoughtful... the last chapter made me cry,' Joe Lycett

'It's part social commentary, part survival guide for daughters, and 100% written while I was probably carrying a refrigerator up some stairs alone'.

This whip-smart memoir is equal parts stand-up set and group therapy session, Firstborn Daughter runs through motherhood, marriage, fame, beauty, and a very long list of famous women (Beyoncé, Oprah, Hillary Clinton) who never had a choice either.

You'll laugh. You'll recognise your group chat. You'll finally feel diagnosed.

Praise for The Audacity:

'Brilliant!' Aisling Bea
'Witty as hell' Tom Allen
'Wildly readable... tremendous' The Times
