Quite a lot didn't make sense in this book but I am sure it would resonate with anyone who has lived with an alcoholic.

I picked this up at a car boot a few weeks ago, as I have been going through a biography / autobiography stage and knew very little about George Best.
Luckily it didn't contain any football, but details about his first wife's struggle with his womanising and drinking.
I don't think this would appeal to a younger audience as it has references to the 70's and 80's and famous personalities from that time.
Interesting to hear her side of the story and understand what it is like to live with someone with such problems.
