BUMPS IN THE ROAD - a memoir
Maria McErlane is best known for appearing in The Fast Show, Killing Eve, Eastenders, Fat Friends, HIGNFY, Holby City, as the voice of Eurotrash and her weekly contributions as agony aunt on the Graham Norton radio show. Her memoir details a warm and witty, sometimes difficult ride through life. For Maria, navigating life in all its glory has been accompanied by a steady stream of bicycles.
No rule book, just a love of the new and a passion for the open road.
Maria details a warm and witty, sometimes difficult ride through childhood, friendships, wealth, fame, reinvention, love and loss.
Each bike, each revolution, has contributed to her own evolution and the lessons she has learned along the way.
Bumps in the Road gives us the same honesty and humour Maria employs for the many listeners seeking advice in her thirteen years as an agony aunt with Graham Norton.
The wheel goes up and the wheel goes down. Happy or sad, life is full of joy, mishaps and annoying obstacles. It’s important to get back in the saddle, keep pedalling up that hill and freewheeling down the other side!

I absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put it down. I love Maria’s positivity and wit and I really miss hearing her on the radio on a weekend. The stories about Maria’s various bikes made me laugh and her description of taking her little dog out for rides on her bicycles made me smile ! 5/5

What an amazing lady. Always smiling but has had to deal with so much stuff. Just shows you never know what a person is dealing with.
