City of flickering light : a novel
(Large Print)

"It's July 1921, 'flickers' are all the rage, and Irene Van Beck has just declared her independence by jumping off a moving train to escape her fate in a traveling burlesque show. When her fiends, fellow dancer Millie Martin and comedian Henry Weiss, leap after her, the trio finds their way to the bright lights of Hollywood with hopes of making it big. At first glance, Hollywood in the 1920s is like no other place on earth -- iridescent, scandalous, and utterly exhilarating. Despite the glamour and seduction of Tinseltown, success doesn't come easy, and nothing can prepare the three friends for the poverty, temptation, and heartbreak that lie ahead." --Provided by publisher.
