Andrea Newman [1938-2019] is best known for the screen adaptations of her 1967 novel Three Into Two Won't Go (1969), directed by Peter Hall and with a screenplay by Edna O'Brien, and A Bouquet of Barbed Wire, published in 1969, which became a notoriously steamy TV series for London Weekend Television in 1976. Alexa was also adapted for television in 1982, starring Isla Blair and Joanna David.
