This is the exuberant story of eccentric Lilian Singer. Lilian strides through life reciting Shakespeare for a shilling, using reluctant taxi drivers as her private charioteers, falling in love with 'Lord Kitchener'. Magnificently self-confident, she can say at the end: 'I am ready for whatever comes next'. Lilian's is a big story in ever sense - the story of a woman who is larger than life because she is her own grandest invention.
