Not the Type (Signed Edition)

Signed by the author. Camilla Thurlow came second on Love Island in 2017. More recently, she has impressed viewers in the latest series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. But that's not the most interesting part . . . Camilla can do something that none of her fellow contestants, and not even the ex-Special Forces directing staff on Celebrity SAS can do: find, neutralise and destroy the landmines that threaten the lives and livelihoods of so many people in the world's former war zones, and make their land unworkable. This is at once a memoir of an extraordinary life, by a very remarkable young woman, and a script for living one's life to the full. Camilla Thurlow is a highly independent spirit whose thoughts and experience will resonate with anyone seeking meaning in a world where women are too often discounted, or who frequently feel alienated amid the frenzy of contemporary life. Not The Type will inspire a whole generation to dare the seemingly impossible. This is a book based in part on Camilla's meetings with inspiring women who have helped shape her and taught her invaluable lessons. It is also a book about learning to confront one's own anxieties in a world frequently dominated by celebrity culture, and about being a woman in what is, still, all too often a man's world.
