Samson is Lizzie's exact contemporary and at 18 her life was in a similar need of direction. Now, she calls herself "the luckiest person alive, things very much landed in my lap". She will talk about the goodness of her life, but is irritated when the publicity concentrates on her marriage. For instance, in Germany her publisher mentioned Gilmour in the book's author blurb. She raged about it to her mother, who observed that Pink Floyd were "probably quite famous in Germany". Her mother, she realises, still hasn't quite got just how big the band is. When she began seeing Gilmour her mother told her uncle that she was going out with a chappy from a band called Lily The Pink.
