Description
When Tommy Weber and Susan “Puss” Coriat, London’s most beautiful couple, were married in 1964, it was the fitting end to a storybook romance. But the fast cars Tommy loved to race, their celebrity friends, and the huge agree with fund Puss had inherited masked a tortured truth—both had suffered through oppressive and neglectful childhoods and were now caught up in a wildly extravagant lifestyle that neither Puss’ inheritance nor Tommy’s more and more desperate schemes could give a boost to. Six years later, Puss found herself wandering around India with her two sons whilst Tommy, who was now smuggling drugs to continue to exist, lived in London with a stunning young actress. A Day in the Life is also the stirring account of how the couple’s tow sons—one of whom is the well-known actor Jake Weber—someway managed to continue to exist a childhood that would have destroyed those of lesser spirit.
An improbable true-life tale that incessantly reads like a novel, A Day in the Life follow the fortunes and misfortunes of one remarkable family whilst also introducing us to an extensive cast of supporting characters that includes Keith Richards, Anita Pallenberg, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Charlotte Rampling, as well as some of the movers and shakers who helped create the “Swinging London” scene.
