  Rockabye

  Sidney Jones was - briefly - a pop sensation in the 1980's. Now, she's forty, facing bankruptcy and heading towards pop oblivion. But armed with a promising new album and a household of flunkies, including her toy-boy, personal assistant and desparate manager, Sidney thinks she has one last chance at A-list glory ... but she's also attempting to adopt a baby from Africa to fulfil her passionate desire for motherhood.

  Baby hunger. Returning to the feisty mood of her hit The Female of the Species, Joanna Murray-Smith in Rockabye gives our self-involved, celebrity-obsessed culture a satirical duff-up.

A glamourous blonde with movie-star looks, Root was born to British parents in Kenya and spent most of her life in Africa. Seal's biography is based on Root's own diaries and extensive letters, and follows both her environmental crusades and her passionate - yet ultimately failed - relationship with her husband and fellow adventurer, Alan Root.
