Description: Dylan Thomas's letters to the many women in his life are among the most beautiful and lyrical he wrote, full of longing and separation. They are cajoling, apologetic, uninhibited, funny, tactical and loving. This collection includes letters to his first love Pamela, his flamboyant wife Caitlin, and Elizabeth Reitel, who was with him on the night he died. Sensual and earthy, they were designed to secure Thomas's place in his lover's heart and memory. Two great loves of Thomas's life - his wife Caitlin and his childhood sweetheart Vera Philips - provide the inspiration for The Edge of Love, a beautifully drawn love story set in the bohemian underworld of war-torn London, and Wales, where 4 lives are intertwined by broken promises, passion and betrayal.
