So Who's Your Mother

Tarquin Olivier grew up as the son of the most famous British actor of the last century - and one of the most famous men in the world.

Laurence Olivier.

'So Whoâ€™s Your Mother' tells his story.

Growing up, Olivier mingled with legendary figures from â€˜The Golden Generationâ€™ of British theatre.

From his father Laurence Olivier to his step-mother Vivien Leigh, from Joan Plowright to Sybil Thorndike, they all can be found in Tarquinâ€™s charismatic, deeply personal story

But as well as fascinating collection of character sketches, Tarquin Olivier describes his own personal journey, and his work in the third world.
From his expedition with Quentin Keyes tracing Livingstoneâ€™s footsteps, to his work with De La Rue, Tarquin tells his story with warmth, honesty and good humour. His career has been varied and global from his employment at the Common Wealth Development Corporation to his successful publication of the memoir My Father Laurence Olivier which only serves to add richness and colour to his story.

So Whoâ€™s Your Mother explores the life of the son of one of the most highly respected actors in British theatrical history.

Philip Ziegler writes in his Foreword, â€˜Tarquin has greatly enjoyed his life. Fortunately he knows how to communicate that pleasure. The reader will enjoy it too.â€™

â€˜It canâ€™t be much fun being the child of a world-famous figure â€“ how can you escape the shadow of, say, Chaplin, or Picasso, or Laurence Olivier? Tarquin Olivier, whose godparents were Noel Coward, Ralph Richardson and Sybil Thorndike, succeeded.â€™ - Roger Lewis, The Daily Mail.
