AMELIA opening tonight
“Maps of Africa and Arabia were my favourite. The names were so mysterious and tantalisingly far away that they colonised my imagination. I rolled on my tongue such places, Senegal, Khartoum, Bab - Al - Mandagh, Hadramaut.”

"I sailed into New York on the Île de France. I became
the most celebrated woman on the planet. I did not
make Paris. My Atlantic flight ended in Ireland, in
Farmer Gallagher's top field."
