The Woman in the Picture

Samenvatting: The Woman in the Picture (zoals op de achterkaft)

Based loosely on the life of film-maker Humphrey Jennings, the relevance of the title - "The Woman in the Picture" - is gradually revealed. Told in part by Henry Whitaker, the film-maker, through his diaries, and by his daughter in the present-day, the plot is an intriguing one. I was hooked by both it and Wilson's recreation of the world of cinema in the Twenties and Thirties. It is a real must-read.
