This autobiography describes the life of Jane Lapotaire, currently working at the Royal Shakespeare Company, who has worked at the Old Vic under Sir Lawrence Olivier. It evokes the England of the 1950s and the confusions of being illegitimate and growing up with adopted parents. Lapotaire starred in the award winning "Piaf", the title role in the BBC 1 series "Marie Curie" and the leading role in the recent series "Blind Justice".
