A Life and a Half: My Winding Path to Politics

The blisteringly candid account of a life that has taken Sunday Times-bestselling author and minister Chris Bryant to some truly unexpected places.

Raised in Francoist Spain by an alcoholic mother and an absent father, Bryant would go on to act alongside some of the great names of the day, man the barricades in Chile and later become an Anglican priest, all before he turned forty. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, peopled with bishops, actors, drag queens and pushy candidates, A Life and a Half is a politician's memoir like no other.
