Aude Says…
I am not the biggest George Michael fan (don’t get me wrong, I love Wham! and “Last Christmas” is my favourite festive song) but this book is so much more: social commentary, historical insight on the 80s, portrait of Queer Britain and Immigrant Britain. It tells the story of a fascinating man and an exceptionally gifted artist.
