An Unsuitable Boy: A Life in Scripts

Andrew Davies, the acclaimed screenwriter behind iconic British television and film adaptations, shares his compelling and often chaotic life story in this candid memoir. Weaving together wit, irreverence, and vulnerability, 'An Unsuitable Boy' offers an intimate look at a life dedicated to writing, adapting, and surviving the creative process.

From post-war Cardiff to the bustling BBC boardroom, and from New York flops to collaborations with Robert Altman in French farmhouses, Davies reveals the personal narratives that shaped his celebrated scripts. Drawing on personal correspondence, diaries, and unpublished archival material, he writes with trademark warmth and wit about marriage, mischief, writer's block, literary obsessions, and enduring love.

The memoir delves into Davies' complex relationship with his mother, the profound impact of his wife Diana and their long marriage, and the family dynamics that continue to influence his storytelling. This is a fascinating exploration of what happens behind the scenes, offering a unique perspective on the life of a master storyteller.
