The cover draws you in with its oozing sensuality and the woman's detachment and unattainability through the smoky haze.
The book is sensitively and emotionally retold, from a young, impressionable girl's point of view. We learn how the magical age of the silver screen was her route to escape her life of hard work and poverty in her parents' laundry business. As she begins to do small extra parts in the movies, we feel the emotional tension build as she falls head over heels with the glamour and power the female movie stars possess and she wants to possess it for herself someday. I cannot wait to read the rest of this book!
