Vivien and Laurence were two of the first truly global celebrities - their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by a long-undiagnosed mental illness that transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare.Author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey as he studies their tempestuous relationship, one that took place against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the upheavals of the 1960s -- as they struggled with love, loss and the ultimate agony of their parting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Galloway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1549173510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781549173516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.59h x 5.83w x 1.10d","brand":"Stephen Galloway","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44042640359679,"sku":"9781549173516","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1843856b-4f99-4f6a-9616-1b16db431ad7.jpg?v=1684962679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/truly-madly-stephen-galloway-9781549173516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
