Publisher's Synopsis
"Mullets, tragedies and knowing the right plates to smash." Actor, writer and comedienne Olga Thompson shares her story of growing up in the 80s, in her vibrant family hair salon, El Greco Of Hornsey. A quirky, yet candid account of 'growing up Greek', in a post immigrant Britain. Join Olga as she sweeps up the Split Ends of her life, reflecting on her childhood, navigating the ups and the downs of motherhood and getting real about menopause (with every hairdressing pun intended). From hilarious anecdotes to both heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, she takes the reader on a journey through her upbringing with nostalgia, humour and authenticity. So come on, step through the door of El Greco, and enjoy the highlights and lowlights so far, finished off with a generous spray of big, fat, Greek encouragement.
