A Continual Farewell: My Life in Letters with Tony Wilson
English
By (author): Lindsay Reade
A Continual Farewell tells the story of the relationship between Factory Records' Tony Wilson and his first wife, Lindsay Reade, in full colour through their personal and intimate letters, postcards and numerous family photos and snapshots.
They begin with love at first sight in 1976 and are married within a year. From a music show entitled So It Goes to the formation of Factory and the Hacienda, across domestic infidelities, separation, stalled reconciliations and an unceremonious firing.
After all that, when one would doubt any recovery was possible, the letters describe a renewed but now illicit love affair of former marriage partners. And beyond that, to a lasting friendship.
