Her memoir, 'A Book of Untruths' was published with Faber & Faber in June 2017. 'Her achievement is not merely the weaving together of so many disparate elements and ideas with a clarity that seems effortless - it is her generous warmth' (TLS) 'Doyle challenges the reader to stick with her tense, candid, sage testimony to the last unsettling, rewarding word' (Guardian) An 'elegantly ambivalent book' (Telegraph) 'Bleak but, goodness, is it gripping' (London Evening Standard).
