Showbiz memoirs are often difficult to write, at least without a collaborator who can help the writer to keep a reasonable sense of perspective. (For a good example of a readable actor's own life story, try Dennis Waterman's ReMinder). Dawn French has opted for a completely different approach, by telling her tale in the form of letters. The first is to you and I, the reader, while others are to family, including her mother, brother Gary, her father (who took his own life when she was aged 19), her husband Lenny Henry, old schoolfriends, and other showbiz icons.
