London & Harlow: Orion, 1996. Hardback. First Edition. (Enclosed with this book is a letter from Sarah Miles to her friend regarding the time Sir Peter Hall fired her from the role of Imogen in his Cymbeline at the National Theatre. There is also a newspaper clipping written by Lynda Lee-Porter on Sir Peter Hall about the firing of Sarah Miles). This book is the final volume of Sarah Mile's acclaimed three-part memoir. It concentrates on her life with her late husband, the writer, Robert Bolt, whom she married twice. The story opens in the aftermath of the mysterious and tragic death of David Whiting: he was obsessed with Sarah and inevitably suspicion fell on her. Her first marriage to Bolt, caught in the constant glare of a hostile media, did not survive. With courage, humour, and the amazing candour that has become her hallmark, Sarah reveals Robert Bolt the man, and the brilliant writer whose talent was so cruelly tested. She shows his brave recovery and how he learnt to speak and write again. Finally Robert asks Sarah to marry him a third time, and they live happily in the country in the kind of hourse that Sarah had dreamt of owning since she was a child. Robert died there last year and Sarah buried him close by her in the garden. Theirs is an extraordinary love story and no one can tell it like Sarah Miles.
