Description
THE WOMEN BEHIND THE DOOR finds Paula now in her sixties, having forged a life that allows her to escape the past, and finally enjoy the present. That is until Paula’s eldest daughter, Nicola, turns up on her doorstep. Independent, affluent, a loving wife and mother, “a success” – Nicola is suddenly determined to leave it all behind. Over the next few days, as Nicola gradually confides in Paula the secret that unleashed this moment of crisis, mother and daughter find themselves untangling anecdotes, memory and revelation to confront the bruised but beautiful symmetry of what each means to the other.
