But Darcy has the measure of them and chooses to go along with their scams and schemes just for the thrill of it.

Kirkus Review:
- "That even colostomies have their humorous aspect is demonstrated in this spirited account by a Tony- and Oscar- nominated actress with a remarkable zest for life. In April 1994, when Barrie was in her early 60s, she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. ...
Then, a humiliating accident on a Manhattan bus inspired Barrie to go public with her story. ..."

Is the story set in Britain? Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie series comes to mind. His ex-wife Josie worked in front of a camera but I thought she was an actress?

- "... Jam Gallahue is sent to The Wooden Barn, a boarding school for emotionally fragile teens, when she fails to recover from her boyfriend’s death. At first, she can’t fathom how the school will help her. All she wants to do is stay in bed and remember the 41 days she and Reeve shared. One class, “Special Topics in English,” offers her a way to experience those moments in a whole new way—by writing in a particular journal and slipping into a surreal alternate reality. She and the four other members of the class are both thrilled at the opportunity to revel in their old lives and anxious that when the journals fill up, they have to say goodbye all over again. ...
