I Love the Bones of You: My Father and the Making of Me
by Christopher Eccleston
An emotional, raw and honest account of someone I didn’t really know. I’ve only ever seen Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor but I thought it would be interesting to read more about his life.
The detail about his father and growing up in a working class world was not only intriguing but felt relatable. Hearing someone who was working class and got into acting was so much more interesting (in my opinion) to hear than someone middle/upper class who goes into the industry.
I knew that Eccleston had dealt with anorexia, however I didn’t know to the extent of his eating disorder or his mental illnesses, especially so recently. The honesty in his account was touching and shocking yet necessary.
I’m not often moved to tears by a book. I am for film, tv or theatre but not by reading. This one had me shedding tears so quietly by the time I had finished but has easy become one of the best autobiographies I’ve read or will ever read.
