Three Juliets
Three Juliets is an intricately women love story about mothers and daughters, and the ties - of both nature and nurture - that can never be broken. In 1980, designer Claudie Miller is a household name. Girls are begging their mothers to make them her famous dress: the ‘Juliet’. But there’s a big hole in Claudie’s life – sixteen years ago she was forced to give up her baby for adoption. Now she’s in a race to track her child down before it’s too late. In 1980, Roisin, Miranda and Bindi are turning sixteen on the same day. Raised in different families, in different parts of the country, they know nothing about each other . . . or their connection to the dress every teenager is talking about. But the Juliet was designed with one of them in mind – and its threads are slowly pulling them closer to the truth.
