Robert Harling Bücher

Hilarious and touching, this play for six women is set in a beauty parlour in Louisiana. Through four scenes spanning three years the staff and customers engage in small-town gossip but we see a deep strength and purposefulness emerge when Shelby - a diabetic - dies following a kidney transplant operation.

This is Robert Harling's account of his close and enduring friendship with one of the twentieth century's most iconic writers: Ian Fleming.

A vivid and very human account of action on an Atlantic escort.
