Claudette is the granddaughter of the famous Lilith Lucas. She is living in the back streets of London, penniless and struggling to support her ailing father who is on the run from the police. Then Claudette wins a place on the stage at the Gaiety Theatre. Across London, worlds away from Claudette, Miriam da Silva is immersed in high society. She is beautiful, rich and spoilt. However, the paths of Miriam and Claudette are destined to cross. AUTHBIO: Claire Rayner, nurse, agony aunt and author was born in London in 1931.
