| Synopsis: |
In 1973, Brian Thompson kissed glamorous Elizabeth North for the first time, in a busy supermarket car park in Leeds. Both were writers, though from opposite ends of the social register, she an Admiral's daughter, he the descendant of unruly Cockney eccentrics. From a Harrogate terrace, to the un-picturesque French farmhouse where they spent their summers, Brian and Liz battled their way to a heartrending goodbye in an Oxford hospital ward. And, despite the conflicts, they emerge in this deeply-felt memoir as a couple who were lucky enough to find their corner of paradise in one another. |
