Victoria Mary Clarke was miserable. Separated from soul mate Shane MacGowan after twenty years, broke, hopeless, fat and nearly forty, she had no reason to get out of bed. Until one day, not expecting an answer, she demanded some help from whatever is up there in charge of things. And to her utter astonishment, an angel answered. This is the true story of what happened next, of the conversations that followed and the miracles that resulted.

'Loved the book, very engrossing, uplifting' Mary Stanley, novelist

Hell-raiser Shane MacGowan's acclaimed and surprisingly lucid memoir This bibulous, drug-indulgent and anarchic rock legened was born on a small farm in Tipperary, won a scholarship to Westminster, was rapidly expelled, became a rent boy, then a central figure of punk and the hugely influential star of The Pogues. MacGowan's music, innovative and powerful, is as distinctive as his chaotic, breakdown-scarred, drug and alcohol-fuelled lifestyle. MacGowan has an enormous fan-base hungry for stories of his wild behaviour, but this is also a book that celebrates this unique and charming musician, and offers insight into his remarkable perspective on this world - and the next!
