'He Played Misty For Me', is based on a true story. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. I did meet my future sister-in-law on board Canberra, in 1974. How much of the rest is true? Well . . . I’ll leave that to your imagination.
He Played Misty for Me
Eva was twenty-two, engaged to be married and devastated when her parents insisted she accompany them on holiday. It was 1974 and for the first time they were travelling on a one-class ship, Canberra. Her sister, Caro began complaining as they queued to board at Southampton. She was thirteen and everything in her life was either boring or downright irritating. Exactly the opinion of Caro held by Eva. This year the sisters shared a cabin of their own, both regarding this as a mixed blessing.
