Publisher's Summary

Award-winning actress, bestselling author of her memoir This Much Is True, and Britain's naughtiest national treasure is back, and she's as outrageous as ever.

Join us on another unforgettable adventure through the extraordinary life and strong opinions of Miriam Margolyes.

'My new book is called Oh Miriam! - something that has been said to me a lot over the years, often in tones of strong disapproval. It contains lots more revelations and stories and discoveries and I can't wait to share it with you all!'

From being escorted off the Today programme (for saying what we were all thinking) to declaring her love to Vanessa Redgrave; from Tales of the Unexpected to Graham Norton's sofa, she is our most loved and most outspoken national treasure. Oh Miriam! takes you inside both her head and her heart. Buckle up for the most irrepressible, hilarious and moving listen of 2023.

Loved every bit of Miriam

What an icon! Miriam doesn’t hold back, she’s so refreshing and honest and warm and nuclear all at the same time. A true original

A boundless delight!

My love for Miriam Margolyes further deepened on listening to this audio book. The verbal delivery of her characteristic hilarity was a perfect way to consume it. I love her perfect vowels!
I have been watching Miriam in supporting roles for decades, she’s always been there. Seeing her step forth onto centre stage is the encore we’ve all been unexpectantly waiting for. Her big life, generous acceptance of humanity & bawdy humour are all expressed beautifully in this deliciously rambling memoir.
Oh Miriam! you are an international treasure!

Grandmother to the neglected

Miriam is an international treasure, not just national. if you don't enjoy her presence on page, screen big or small, then you are an uptight cunt.
Honesty & Genuine personality and character such as hers is rare but should not be.
As a neglected child of conservative parents she's the grandmother I wish i had with a view in most ways I wish I could possess.

What a load of rambling…

And I loved every minute. This book seemed to have no rhyme nor reason apart from Miriam waxing lyrical, but it was hilarious and entertaining. Big Miriam fan here, so I could listen to her all day.

Oh Miriam what a ride!

Very much enjoyed this read. What a very interesting life you have led. Many times I found myself laughing out loud.
Would highly recommend this book. There are swear words, if you are a bit fragile don’t bother.
I must read your first book now.
