Description
A woman who dared to dream beyond her circumstances and a legacy that refuses to fade away.
1951, Devon. Connie’s job at the Tivoli cinema provides an escape from her alcoholic father, Frank. There she meets and falls in love with projectionist Charlie.
After a whirlwind romance, he splices his proposal into her favourite film, Casablanca, and for the first time, Connie dares to dream of a life beyond the one she’s settled for.
Charlie promises her a happy ending, but for Connie, fate has a different plan.
1996. Seeking fulfilment after his divorce, Eddie takes on the now dilapidated Tivoli cinema, a once-shining gem in Devon. He finds an abandoned film reel with a note:
I’m sorry.
The film reveals the final frames of Casablanca, with a marriage proposal to someone called Connie Harris . . .
The discovery of an abandoned film reel in a dilapidated cinema reopens the mystery of a missing usherette and the fiancé she left behind. Perfect for fans of Sarah Blaydes, Amanda Prowse, Tracy Rees or Jan Baynham.
