The first volume of Sarah Miles's three memoirs. This volume descibes the story of a young girl, descended from royalty who suffered from a severe stammer,dyslexia and generally thought of as an impossible child, who used rebellion as her only means of expression. Expelled from two schools she was then sent to RADA to induldge in her passion for performing. Sarah Miles grew up to be an incredible actress,one of the biggest film actresses of her time, shared a very romantic love affair with Laurence Olivier, married double oscar winning screenwriter Robert Bolt, and was even nominated for an oscar herself. These memoirs are heartwrenchingly honest, desribing in detail her amazingly coulourful life. These books will take you on an emotional rollercoater, you will find yourself laughing and crying in the space of a few pages. A must for anyone.
