Even after the devastating loss of her mother, Emily continues to live vicariously for today only. Dedicating her life in sharing her motto, she's helping patients at the hospice clinic that her father Jett opened in memory of her mother. Yet at the age of twenty-five, Emily's family prays that she will stop grieving enough to let love in even though her only ambition is saving her dad. Little does Emily know, life never goes to plan. When the Eland brothers enter Emily's life, they cause her to divert her mission and create a spark that she never knew existed. Emily's beautiful today has always consisted of watching souls pass on, but can she allow love in or is she too focused on what happens after today?

A Taste of Honey (1961) is a landmark in British cinema history. In this book, Melanie Williams explores the many, extraordinary ways in which it was trailblazing. It is the only film of the British New Wave canon to have been written by a woman - Shelagh Delaney, adapting her own groundbreaking stage play. At the behest of director Tony Richardson and his company, Woodfall, it was one of the first films to be made entirely on location, and was shot in an innovative, rough, poetic style by cinematographer Walter Lassally. It was also the launchpad for a new type of young female star in Rita Tushingham. Tushingham plays the young heroine, Jo, who finds she is pregnant after her love affair with Jimmy (Paul Danquah), a Black sailor. When Jimmy's ship sails away, Jo is comforted and supported by her gay friend Geoff (Murray Melvin), while her unreliable mother, Helen (Dora Bryan), has her own life to lead. Candid in its treatment of matters of gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality and motherhood, and highly distinctive in its evocation of place and landscape, A Taste of Honey marked the advent of new possibilities for the telling of working-class stories in British cinema. As such, its rich but complex legacy endures to this day.
