A Tiger's Wedding: my childhood in exile
Actress Isla Blair’s extraordinary, moving and uplifting story of her childhood in India and her separation from her parents when she was sent “home” to boarding school in gloomy, post-war Scotland and afterwards, when she became one of the youngest students at RADA, training alongside Anthony Hopkins and others and throwing herself fully into life in swinging ‘60s London. “This is a true saga, a life’s journey of such compelling attraction. She very often moved me to tears and then her wit and sense of wicked fun restores the balance. She tells a wonderful story so wonderfully.” Sir Derek Jacobi, CBE
