|summary=In the early seventies Brian Thompson met Elizabeth North, both of them part of failing marriages which would have died without any intervention on their parts. They became friends, they fell in love but they never felt the need to marry and would be together until Liz's death in 2010 at the age of seventy eight. Both are authors - Thompson would maintain that North was the better writer - and North would perhaps have said that ''she'' should have made that clear. ''A Corner of Paradise'' tells the story - not of the homes they lived in - but of the joy of their relationship.
