Greta Garbo first met Cecil Beaton in Hollywood in 1932. Both were involved in turbulent same-sex affairs. Garbo flirted and danced with Beaton, told him he was pretty, gave him 'a rose that lives and dies and never again returns', then at dawn drove away in her black Packard. Cecil took the rose home to England, framed it in silver and hung it above his bed. Fifteen years later they met again. For Greta it was an idle flirtation. For Cecil it fuelled his obsession to photograph her, be like her and marry her - an obsession that turned to betrayal. Souhami draws on diaries, memoirs, letters, photographs and films to reveal the truth behind this compelling, strange and narcissistic relationship.
