About this listen
‘My father was an “ordinary man”, which of course means he was extraordinary.'
Be it as Nicky Hutchinson in Our Friends In The North, Maurice in The A Word, or his reinvention of Doctor Who, One man, in life and death, has accompanied Christopher Eccleston every step of the way – his father, Ronnie. In I Love the Bones of You, Eccleston unveils a vivid portrait of a relationship that has shaped his entire career trajectory – mirroring and defining his own highs and lows, from stage and screen triumph to breakdown, anorexia and self-doubt.
Eccleston describes how the tightening grip of dementia on his father slowly blinded him to his son’s existence, forcing a new and final chapter in their connection. Told with trademark honesty and openness, I Love the Bones of You is a celebration of those on whom the spotlight so rarely shines, as told by a man who found his voice in its glare. A love letter to one man, and a paean to many.©2019 Christopher Eccleston (P)2019 Simon & Schuster UK

Fascinating insights beyond the actor
it's funny when you know somebody as an actor - you somehow fall into the assumption that you know them, and know all about them.
That's what makes this book so intriguing: a look at how he grew up, his complicated relationship with his father, his experience of the British class system... so much beyond what can be known from watching his works.
Not being British myself, there were some references that went over my head. But most of it is universal.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
