3. You Made Me Love You

Episode 3 of 5

How Susie Boyt's passion led to a schoolgirl infatuation. And what happened when she met Liza Minnelli. Read by Tamsin Greig.

Susie Boyt's tribute to her screen idol Judy Garland is a touching account of a life-long passion.

Susie reflects on her heroes in childhood and on the other unshakeable passions of her life, including an embarrassing infatuation with a female teacher. Then, when she finally meets Judy's daughter Liza, Susie wonders why neither of them feel they can mention her mother.
