Summary

Roberta Taylor has written a bittersweet and ultimately unforgettable memoir of her early life in South London in the 50s. Too Many Mothers is a portrait of an embattled family at war with itself and the outside world. From petty crime to pet monkeys, tender romance to emotional blackmail, illegitimacy, adoption, and even murder. You won't be able to put this book down!

The stories Mum used to tell

A basic and sometimes brutal story of real life in the East End of London 90 years ago twists and turns and sometimes quite unexpected.

Too Many Mothers

I love this audiobook, I have listened to it over and over again, it is a very down to earth account of a childhood interlaced with true stories of the authors colourful family. Brilliant.

Had already read the book a few years ago

Was so happy to see it on Audio. I enjoyed it even more, especially as it was read by the late great lady herself. I always thought she was a brilliant actress & was so sad when I heard she had died. Brilliant book. Will listen again at some point.
