AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set in London, Figments of a Murder is passionate and satirical. It probes images of self, sex, stardom, and sisterhood. Images complicated by the lure of memory and money. The world Gillian Hanscombe conjures is torn asunder by love and lust between women. It's a world of murder and menace where Babes creates collisions and calls the shots. Or does she?
