‘Charming, unexpected, honest’ RORY STEWARTThe gripping, remarkably candid story of one man’s unorthodox life before politics, from Labour minister and Sunday Times-bestselling author Chris Bryant‘It is often said that the politicians of today have no hinterland, but then along comes Chris Bryant with a fascinating, frank, funny and moving account of how he became one’ REVEREND RICHARD COLESBefore he was a politician, Chris Bryant was an Anglican priest, baptising babies and holding the hands of the dying. Before that, he manned the barricades in Latin America, and before that, he was the scared son of an alcoholic mother and an estranged father.

This is a no-holds-barred account of a minister’s truly unconventional life before politics – one that has left Bryant equally at home behind the altar, in sweaty gay clubs, on the hustings or the stage. With characteristic frankness, he recounts growing up in General Franco’s Spain, acting alongside some of the most talented names of the day as a teenager, and caring for his brother and mother as she descended into addiction. He ran the family home from sixteen, became ordained at twenty-four and came out as gay shortly after. And that’s just the early years.

A Life and a Half tells a gripping story of bishops and actors, drag queens and pushy candidates, stuffed with moments of joy and hilarity and sorrow and abuse. All while tracking the landscape of late-twentieth-century British politics, from Thatcher to the birth of New Labour. It is a memoir like no other.

Yaaaasssss baby! YASSSSSSSSS!
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
I get hot and sweaty all the time- I could be sunning in a thong in below zero and still be- I need a fan. This shirt is NOT HOT- its handsome, feels nice, my wife loves it, it looks good dressed up or with shorts and I'm not needing to mop my face. It breathes and looks good. The fit is nice, I went up a size because it seems to run a wee bit small, thankfully the larger size is not longer so it doens't have to be hemmed or look silly. So pleased. Wish there were other designs that weren't so crazy/flashy because I would order more.

La recomiendo.
Size: Small, Color: Black
Solo no me gusto la doble cobertura de los botones, ya que se hace un poco difícil ponertela.
