Opis

Elizabeth watched in silence as her mother suffered a violent marriage and from an early age learned that looking after number one was the best way to deal with the hurt. Her story begins in the East End of London; the year 1953. It highlights attitudes, taboos and expectations of that time. We follow her from childhood, through into a beautiful and independent woman. Experiencing personal loss and love in its raw, unyielding way. She makes one of the most damaging decisions of her turbulent life and protects herself with a web of lies and deceit. A shocking discovery creates a dilemma that threatens to destroy relationships and those closest to her to suffer the consequences.
