Description

A true story of shattered childhoods...



Following her escape from Nazi Germany and the loss of her family Judith searches for unconditional love and acceptance. In a bleak boarding house she meets her future husband another Jewish refugee who cares for her when she is ill.Tragically she associates illness with love and a pattern is set. Judith s behaviour eventually spiral into anorexia a disease little known or understood in 1950 s Britain. While she starves herself, Judith forces Ruth, her daughter, to eat. She makes elaborate meals and watches her consume them. She gives her a pint of custard before bed each night. As the disease progresses roles are reversed. Ruth must care for her mother and loses any hope of a normal childhood. The generation gap is tragically bridged by loss and extreme self-loathing, in this moving true story of a family s fight to survive.
