Episode 2 of 5
Susie Boyt compares her Freud family Christmases to the sometimes difficult childhood of her heroine. Read by Tamsin Grieg.
Susie remembers her own family Christmases, and contrasts them with her heroine's occasionally difficult times as a child star.
Plus memories of her own thwarted hopes to go to drama school.
Susie Boyt's tribute to her screen idol Judy Garland is a touching account of a life-long passion.
Abridged by Viv Beeby.
