Description
Elizabeth's life has been defined by fourteen years of unhappy marriage. To cope with her emptiness, she throws herself into work. But when an unexpected phone call brings troubled teenager Jan to her doorstep, Elizabeth is forced to confront her own loneliness and take in the young woman as a lodger. As their lives become intertwined, long-buried secrets are exposed and family tensions escalate. Jan is struggling to make sense of her devastating affair with an older woman, a relationship that is still taboo in a world where love between women is frowned upon. Elizabeth's quiet strength and gentle nature have all the qualities that Jan needs, but she must confront her own fears and doubts if their friendship is to survive. As both women are forced to confront their demons, they make choices that will change their lives forever. With its memorable characters, wry humour, and exploration of complex issues like love, betrayal, and abuse, 'Boundaries' is a powerful and moving lesbian love story.
