A Woman of Air by Margaret Packham Hargrave
They give me injections and the pain recedes, so I let my dreams take charge of me... Time shifts and memory is like a reflection in water that can be disturbed by a fish, a ripple or a stone thrown by a child. I no longer know what it was I lived and what I dreamed.

Daphne is dying. As her life ebbs away and she drifts in and out of consciousness, she looks back over her life from childhood to old age, now unable to distinguish between reality and the rich fantasy world she often inhabited.
Determined from an early age to make her mark on the world as a star of stage and screen, Daphne finds herself continually thwarted by the restrictions of suburbia, the demands of her family and the stigma of epilepsy. Can her dreams sustain her life?
