About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of East of Croydon written and read by Sue Perkins.
A few years ago I was asked if I'd like to make a documentary on the Mekong River, travelling from the vast delta in Vietnam to the remote and snowy peaks of Tibet.
Up until that point, the farthest East I'd been was Torremolinos, in the Costa Del Sol.
Here's the thing:
I am scared of flying.
I have zero practical skills.
I can't survive if I am more than a three minute walk from a supermarket.
For the last seven years I have suffered with crippling anxiety
I bolt when panicked.
I cannot bear to witness humans or animals in distress
I have no ability to learn languages.
I am a terrible hypochondriac
And I am no good with boats.
So I said yes.

Beautiful heartbreaking and hilarious
This is a wonderful book. It is funny which is what you expect but what you don't expect is a beautiful memoir that makes you laugh and cry in the same chapter. I have never read any sue perkins before but I am rushing to download another now. Thank you sue for your lovely ramblings.

Perfect if you're a Sue Perkins fan
I love Sue Perkins and have watched all the documentaries these tales are based on. She delivers it well, as you'd expect. My only qualm is that occasionally it is a bit overwrought. The chapters about her father were very moving.
