Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Korda’s latest sweeping melodrama is set in London theaters and Hollywood studios of the 1940s…Korda knows the milieu and keeps the pages turning.”  Publishers Weekly
“Korda’s tightest, most smoothly written, most tackily distasteful novel, in a lengthening line of tacky tales, and his best ever…it’s riveting, especially Korda’s rich ideas about classical acting and the Vanes’ talents.” Kirkus Reviews
