Caitlin Thomas
Caitlin Thomas (8 December 1913 – 31 July 1994), née Macnamara, was the wife of the poet and writer Dylan Thomas. Their marriage was a stormy affair, fuelled by alcohol and infidelity, though the couple remained together until Dylan's death in 1953. After her husband's death she wrote the book ''Leftover Life to Kill'', an account of her self-exile to Italy. She paints a picture of a grieving widow seeking solace in distance, a younger lover, and alcohol.
==Early history==
She was born in Hammersmith, London, to Francis, a would-be poet, and Yvonne Macnamara.〔Ferris (1989), pg 149.〕 The couple had a son and three daughters of whom Caitlin was the youngest and Nicolette, who was to become an artist and author, was the eldest.〔 The Macnamaras were descended from an old Irish land-owning family, and her grandfather, Henry Vee Macnamara, was the squire of two estates in County Clare. Francis moved in literary circles, being friendly with a number of artists, but when Caitlin was about four or five, he began to live apart from his family.〔 Yvonne left London, and she and the girls settled in Ringwood, near the New Forest, where they were close friends to Welsh artist Augustus John and his family.〔 In her early teens she fell in love with Caspar John, son of Augustus John, despite the fact that he was almost eleven years her senior.〔 During this period she was raped by Augustus himself, who seemed to believe that sex with those he painted was an artist's privilege.〔〔(''Telegraph'' 11 May 2008 )〕 In 1930, at the age of 16, she returned to London and entered a dancing school, and at 18 was a member of a London chorus line. She lived for a brief time in Paris before moving to County Clare in 1934, when her father returned to the Macnamaras' reduced estates.〔
