Caitlin by Paul Ferris

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 This subsequent life as a writer, alcoholic and wandering widow is told with the help of her uninhibited letters, unpublished manuscripts, and through conversations with Caitlin, her family and friends.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 teenage prodigy, becoming Newcastle United's youngest-ever player in 1982, only for injury to ensure his promise went unfulfilled. He later returned to the club as a physiotherapist before earning a Master's degree and beginning a successful quest to qualify as a barrister. But the lure of football was always strong and he went back for a third spell at Newcastle, as Head of the Medical Department, again working closely with a host of big-name players and managers. Paul also became a novelist and now runs a successful health and fitness business.
