Synopsis
Novelist Dame Beryl Bainbridge, helped by her grandson Charlie, makes a record of her life, convinced she's going to die at her current age of 71 like many of her family before her.
She looks back at her volatile upbringing in Formby in the 1940s, her time as an actress in the Liverpool Playhouse and her failed relationships with several men, and the film also gives a unique insight into how one of Britain's greatest living authors goes about writing a book.
