Omnibus presents the work of a highly talented and witty English writer - Beryl Bainbridge
with Elizabeth Spriggs and Peter Jeffrey
"I grew up surrounded by people who were disappointed. They'd married the wrong person, failed in business, been manipulated by others. But they took a fierce pride in knowing themselves for what they were."
"A Quiet Life", the novel on which this programme is based, introduces us to just such a Bainbridge family. We see the story through the son's eyes - but it's the daughter, Madge, who dominates the household, roaming the sand-dunes, inventing stories, uncovering family secrets and confusing all with her vivid imagination.
