Sian Prior has maintained a career in the public eye, as a broadcaster and performer, for more than twenty years. For far longer than that, she has suffered from excruciating shyness. Eventually, after bolting from a party in a state of near-panic, she decides to investigate her condition.

What is it—shyness? Where did hers come from? Why does it create such distressing turmoil beneath her assured professional front?

Shy: A Memoir—frank, provocative, remarkable in its clarity and beautifully written—is a book about unease: about questioning who you are.
