Description

Val's life is one of quiet desperation, her days filled with the echoes of a past she can't escape. She finds solace in the glamour of Elizabeth Taylor, dressing up as the movie star to cope with the pain of her own losses. But when Val sees a pram left unattended on the seafront, something inside her snaps. In a moment of reckless abandon, she takes it and walks away. As the story unfolds, we see glimpses of Val's past and present, of love, loss, and bereavement. The lines between then and now begin to blur, and we're left to ponder the choices that have led us here. This is a moving and thought-provoking novel about the complexities of motherhood, grief, and the enduring power of melancholy. Becoming Liz Taylor is a vivid and touching portrayal of life's fragility and beauty. With its nuanced exploration of human emotions, it will resonate with readers who appreciate character-driven fiction that lingers long after the final page is turned.
