Still, she feels she knows something about survival because of the schlock she has played in. "I was very hurt by the experience," she says, "and I had to grow a lot. Either that, or not survive...
...Helen Chichester-Redfern, a terminal cancer patient who lives in the same English cathedral town as Hermitage. A deathbed friendship is struck, along with a sizzling affair with Mrs. C.-R.'s daughter Dinah, a churchgoing guitarist and bedroom athlete with the sexual etiquette of a praying mantis...
