Sail Away

Sunset by Jessie Cave

April 24, 2024 by Zirza Leave a Comment

London-based sisters Ruth and Hannah are very close in spite of everything – their difference in age, their difference in outlook on life. Tied together by an upbringing with two selfish, disinterested parents (one actor, one writer, neither of them very successful) they’ve taken two very different paths in life: Hannah is professionally successful, has a loving boyfriend, has started a charity for disadvantaged children, while Ruth is an art-school drop out whose longest relationship is with a man who doesn’t give her the time […]
