Summary

Anthony Minghella grew up above his Italian parents' cafeacute; on the Isle of Wight. He studied and then taught at The University of Hull where he began to write. His prize-winning plays appeared in the theatre, on radio and television. His debut feature film, which he wrote and directed, Truly Madly Deeply, was a huge surprise hit with audiences everywhere, and each of his subsequent pictures has seen him grow in ambition, stature and acclaim, from the epic scope of the English Patient to the lustre of The Talented Mr Ripley and, most recently, his monumental adaptation of Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain.

Timothy Bricknell assisted Anthony Minghella in the making of The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) and then produced his film version of Samuel Beckett's Play (2000). He is an associate producer of Cold Mountain (2003). This is his first book.
