 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING MEMOIR, NOW UPDATED WITH NEW MATERIAL

Readers LOVE Everything is Everything:
'Clive Myrie is one heck of an author' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Well written and thought provoking. One to come back to again' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Thoughtful, analytical, deeply caring and, at times, very funny' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

-----------------

As a Bolton teenager with a paper round, Clive Myrie read all the newspapers he delivered from cover to cover and dreamed of becoming a journalist. In this deeply personal memoir, he tells how his family history has influenced his view of the world, introducing us to his Windrush generation parents, a great grandfather who helped build the Panama Canal, and a great uncle who fought in the First World War, later to become a prominent police detective in Jamaica.

He reflects on how being black has affected his perspective on issues he's encountered in thirty years reporting some of the biggest stories of our time (most recently from Ukraine and Israel), showing us how those experiences gave him a better idea of what it means to be an outsider. He tells of his pride in his roots, but his determination not to be defined by his background in dealing with the challenges of race and class to succeed at the highest level.

Moving, engaging, revealing, Everything is Everything is a story of love and hate - but also hope.

Such a brilliant book. Covers a wide range of interesting topics. Beautifully read in that famous and familiar voice. Cried in some parts and laughed out loud too. Will get a hardcover copy to sit proudly on my shelf. Thank you Clive.

Riveting book. Highly recommended

His writing connected the dots between events that have played on my mind. He brought to life the back story of the wind rush generation. As an American, my cultural knowledge of the UK can be sketchy. The author’s experience of American life and UK life tallies with my own. I like his optimism and fierce look at reality. This was an educational journey for me, led by a like-minded person. Great stuff.

His analysis is like mine

Absolutely loved listening to your book in my new cosy kitchen with my husband. You are a few years older than my husband, also Jamaica. Heritage grew up in Southport, Lancashire now Merseyside . Them being less than 5 black families growing up in the 70s back then. We could relate so much to your childhood as it mirrored ours . Thank you for writing this . Good luck for the future . X
