Amazing Disgrace: A Book About "Shame"

Product Information

I found the book interesting when she had written about him working in politics and the whole Tony Blair side of things, the protesting outside their home which was aimed at Alastair (sometimes you don’t realise what comes with being known or in the public eye if you will). Grace Campbell makes no bones about her privileged background and this is refreshing and leads to a book that is both an autobiography and an empowering guide to how to accept yourself and every part of you. I went into this book blind, not knowing who Grace Campbell was and her links to politics, her father being Alastair Campbell.

There’s frequent jabs at the stiff upper lips of Etonians, middle-aged white men oblivious to their privilege and stale conquests who make you feel like shit for a bit, but serve their ultimate purpose when you’re going through a glow-up, as a solid reminder of what not to settle for. Set both in Tuscany and in the trendy haunts of London, this is the hilarious sequel to Cooking with Fernet Branca. Above all, you root for Campbell as she works out - after a weekend bender at Secret Garden Party that (almost) ends up involving paramedics - that none of this is making her happy. I’m a brown 26 year-old girl living in Bradford and my dad is nowhere near as influential (thank god?

I'm often cagey about reading Instagrammer's work especially after wasting my money on Florence Given's pile of crap.

As I feel the echoes of my ancestors' shame, Amazing Disgrace assured me that this inspirational new generation of young women are so much more than their fathers' daughters and their husbands' wives.The Washington Post: "The amazingly prolific and astonishingly sophisticated James Hamilton-Paterson has given us another novel, as offbeat and unexpected as any of the rest. Depending on the highs and lows of your own early 20s, episodes of chasing blokes who really, really don’t want to shag you might resonate; as might getting kicked out of Rowan’s in Finsbury Park. It was so fun to read, with the heavier, emotional sections balancing nicely with light-hearted humour and heartwarming stories of friendship.

Whilst I can't relate to Grace's experiences with drugs (I'm very anti-drugs), there were parts that I felt echoed my own teenage and early-20s and the insecurities I harboured. This woman is unashamedly herself from the outset: sex-positive, political, intelligent, hilarious and surprisingly very vulnerable, opening up about the kind of experiences we all have as young women, but very often fail to articulate. Booklist (starred review): "Amazing Disgrace is written as if Samper is chatting with the reader over a bottle of prosecco, and it offers endless (often laugh-out-loud) musings from the scatological to the sartorial.

I totes relate to this and have genuinely wondered on many occasions how I would still be standing were it not for the lovely interventions of my fab friends when I’m up shit’s creek or about to make a very bad life decision at a house party full of strangers that don’t have my best interests at heart. But the truth is, I was in a bad place and I didn’t rate myself enough to say no to just a bit of attention.

Things like her right to privacy or her relationships with her parents, which were inevitably strained by the bucktoothed allure of Blair.
