Caitlin by Paul Ferris
This is a biography of Caitlin Thomas, the Irishwoman who married Dylan Thomas. It tells of their productive but doomed relationship, and of the promiscuity and scandal among the artistic community of Fitzrovia. It covers her life after Thomas's death from alcohol and morphine, and her freedom to become an artist in her own right. This subsequent life as a writer, alcoholic and wandering widow is told with the help of her uninhibited letters, unpublished manuscripts, and through conversations with Caitlin, her family and friends.Paul Ferris was a juvenile prodigy who became Newcastle United's youngest-ever player in 1982, only to have his potential squandered due to injury. He eventually returned to the club as a physiotherapist before receiving a Master's degree and pursuing his dream of becoming a barrister. But the allure of football was too strong to resist, and he returned to Newcastle for a third stint as Head of the Medical Department, where he once again worked closely with a slew of big-name players and managers. Paul went on to write novels and now has a thriving health and fitness company.
