Persons Living or Dead

4.3/5 ( ratings)

The lives of three women intersect in unexpected ways in a passionate story of love and loss. Marian Westwood took the first train out of Cardiff; though dancing in a Soho strip club wasn't quite the life she had envisaged, it gave her the chance to tilt at more enticing theatrical windmills. In no time at all she was a star of stage and screen, an icon whose life and image others aspired to. Watching from the stalls in Marian's 1950s heyday, Gill found her stage presence mesmerizing—an escape from the dry as dust home life she'd suffered for all her 16 years. It woke her up, dragged her out into a brighter, livelier real world. Jayne has always felt that her life lacked direction, in contrast to her mother who always seemed to know where she was going. Years later, as they excavate an abandoned garden, Jayne and Gill find they have more in common than an errant husband and son. Theirs is a compelling story to tell, one that grips from first page to last as their seemingly disparate histories intertwine.
