Recenzii
Beautifully written, it moves with ease from a tough childhood in the East End of London through the bohemian life of an actor ending up in the world of politics, all knitted together with an unpredictable and moving love story. It made me happy and sad and all points in between
Brutally frank and brave
Tells not just the story of his life, but also the battle for LGBT equality in the UK
Poignant reading
A powerful account of public life, love and loss . Passionate and true, illuminating, bright and breezy . In the league of My Early Years, Charlie Chaplin's great account of late 19th-century south London - graphic, filled with smells and tastes and strange encounters . A great book about love, pain and the whole damn thing
There is brilliance in his memoir, One of Them, and darkness, too, enough to raise it far above the normal standard of celebrity biography . Stunning . The lucidity of the writing is breath-taking . He could never be accused . in life or literature, of not doing enough
With this memoir Michael Cashman can add "writer" to a CV that already includes "actor", "politician" and "campaigner". Apart from its important contribution to British social history, this is a book to be savoured for its own sake as a wonderful piece of descriptive writing and a rollicking good read
Michael Cashman's beautifully crafted memoir left me in tears and grateful that he had the courage to lay out his almost unimaginable life with such impressive honesty ... Above all, however, this is the tenderest of love stories, a proud testament to a decades-long queer romance. There are so many reasons to love this book
This book, unlike any other I've read, is a true portrait of a brave actor/politician/Lord. Michael Cashman shares his most private feelings in a memoir to cherish
Michael Cashman describes his journey from a cruel Dickensian childhood to the dignity of the House of Lords with brutal honesty. I was shocked, amused, and deeply moved by this life of a brave, good, man
In February, Michael Cashman, now Lord Cashman of Limehouse, tells his life story in One Of Them: From Albert Square To Parliament Square . from East End boy and child actor to soap star, Stonewall founder, MEP and now member of the House of Lords
[A] roller coaster memoir . Peppered with delicious anecdotes of his encounters with celebrities
An extraordinary account of improbable leaps of faith and changes of direction ... An amazing, complicated love story
