I never did finish this book. I just couldn't relate to the writer.
I read the book in about 3 days, I was surprised to find this book was actually VERY interesting and I was easily swept up in her life story within a few pages. I read it every chance I got.
Worth reading if you can find a copy, she was a trail blazer , going unapologetically in the honest direction of her impulses. Written in a very intimate way but not salacious at all.
Caroline Cossey was a successful model and appeared in rock videos such as SOME LIKE IT HOT, RIO, and others. She was outed as a transsexual and her modelling career was damaged.
I have mixed emotions about this book, for purely personal reasons. I too have transitioned and indeed underwent surgery in May 2003.
Caroline has done nothing less than a superb job in telling of her story and the may hardships and adventures. Her ability to convey these events as they took place is a very heart warming tale of her journey through a very difficult situation that some of us must make in our lives.
I remember Caroline Cossey when I was very young and growing up in England - she was splashed all over the British Newpapers and I remember my parents going on about it. I took one glance at her and she became my inspiration.
