A Woman on the Edge of Time (Omnibus)

A son’s quest to find out, 40 years on, why his 29 year old sociologist mother took her own life. Stars Dominic Mafham.

In 1965, Hannah Gavron – a 29 year old, bright, sophisticated sociologist – gassed herself in a flat in Primrose Hill, north London. She left behind a suicide note, two small children, and an about-to-be-published manuscript: The Captive Wife.

Four decades later, her son Jeremy tries to piece together the events that led to her death.

Omnibus of Jeremy Gavron's book is dramatised by Sarah Daniels starring Dominic Mafham, Helen Clapp and James Bolam.
