The Potts Paper

Written in the Potts family's own words, this is an account of the extraordinary year that propelled them to international infamy.How could Doreen Potts - until then regarded as a model resident of Rother-ham, a doting mother and a diligent upholder of family life - find herself in prison charged with murder? How did her daughter Sylvia come to be at the centre of a religious controversy that shook the world? And will her son Gary ever make it up with his boyfriend?In a story packed with perverted sex, gambling, random violence and a great deal of hoovering, Doreen Potts experiences one of the most momentous years of her life. And she tells the truth about it in her own inimitable style - making it one of the funniest tragedies you're ever likely to encounter!A follow-up to his previous highly praised book, The Potts Correspondence, Terry Sanderson once more lays on the laughs as Doreen and her barmy brood stumble from one self-inflicted disaster to another.Between the chuckles, however, there lurks a beguiling satire on religion, class and 'family values'.
