When her husband, distinguished theatre impressario Sir Donald Albery, died in 1988, Nobuko began spectacularly falling apart, mentally and physically. This is her exuberant account of her trials and errors, zigzagging between Europe and Japan, as she struggles to come to terms with her loss - no longer young, beloved husband no more.
