When Nora Sayre arrived in London in the 1950s, she quickly joined a circle of artists, many of them blacklisted Americans. This is her account of an extraordinary group of people - Graham Greene, Oona and Charlie Chaplin, Tyrone Power, Cyril Connolly, A.J. Liebling and many more. It is also a memoir of a young woman's coming of age.
