Sandi Toksvig is one of the few people whose brain I would really like to tickle. Sounds. Bit strange but she is someone who ticks all the boxes for me. She is smart, she is damn funny and she is articulate. Add to that the fascinating life that she has led (seriously) and the events – like actual world events she had a front row seat for and you really do have an interesting memoir.

However, Between the Stops is actually a lot more than that. See Sani Toksvig gives you a history of London interspersed with her life story. You learn so much about our nation’s capital alongside her own history and it is such a wonderful juxtaposition of information.

With Between the Stops you will laugh, you will get emotional and you will genuinely learn something new. I really hope Sandi Toksvig gets on a different number bus and releases a sequel because this was just a joyous read. 

Between the Stops – The View of My Life from the Top of the Number 12 Bus by Sandi Toksvig is available now.
