Walters's book - also well written - has moments of Alan Bennett warmth SUNDAY TIMES

This is a humorous and, at times, moving read from this much-loved actress WOMAN & HOME

I was enthralled by her memoirs ... a celebrity memoir which is actually worth reading as a work of literature READER'S DIGEST

THAT'S ANOTHER STORY is funny, evocative, reasonably revealing and underpinned throughout by an appealing sense of humanity. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
