This is a fictionalized account of the careers and friendship of Mary Pickford and Frances Marion, pioneering women in Hollywood. Benjamin did a good job of encapsulating the history of film from the silent movies through the rise of talkies and the big studio era, highlighting the obstacles encountered by successful women.
I enjoyed Benjamin’s prior novels, especially The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb and The Aviator’s Wife. I thought this work a bit cloying, but still it made for an interesting and entertaining read.
