Description:The memoir "Loose Woman: my odyssey from lost to found" tells how a quasi-alcoholic actor came to spend four astonishing months living and working among men with severe disabilities at a L'Arche community in Provence, and how the experience opened her heart and transformed her life.The book brings to life the late seventies, when feminism and sexual liberation were ascendant, and a single woman had to come to terms with what this new kind of freedom meant. It gives a backstage view of the triumphs and miseries of a successful actor, celebrates daily life in France — tradition, argument, cheese — and shows a daughter struggling to emerge from the shadow of her powerful, flawed parents.Loose Woman illuminates how, with the help of six damaged Frenchmen, a gifted, damaged young woman begins, at last, to trust and forgive herself, to live loosely, and to set off in a surprising new direction.Reviews from readers:Dame Harriet Walter: I loved reading this hugely enjoyable book, page turning and honest. And it’s funny! Any woman torn between motherhood and career will identify with this. Suzette Couture, screenwriter and producer: An amazing journey of the self. The writing is a joy, full of insight and humour. A beautiful, heartbreaking/heart-mending story. Allan Stratton, multi-prize-winning author: Compulsive reading with very funny moments.
