Whyare they so complicated?

Following the death of his mother Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard cried and kissed his black arm band after scoring a penalty during Chelsea's Champion League clash with Liverpool. It was an act of affection that has won him new fans. But why are we so surprised by this public display of emotion? Jenni discusses the mother and son relationship with William Sutcliffe the author of Whatever Makes You Happy and mother and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.

Whatever Makes You Happy by William Sutcliffe is published by Bloomsbury on May 8th ISBN 074759364
