I really enjoyed this one! It took me longer than I care to admit to work out it was based off of real people, why it didn't click sooner I don't know! I ended up down an old Hollywood rabbit hole.
I loved how the women all ended up intertwining at some points. All 3 of their stories broke my heart and I just wanted to hug each of them. It's a book that will stay with me for a long time.

I can not stop thinking about how well this book was written! It was beautiful! I am sharing with everyone this story because it would be such a fun book club. I loved it!

I didn’t love this one as I didn’t like or connect with any of the main characters. It was an interesting time piece but I wasn’t excited to return to it when I sat down and picked up my Kindle. I wasn’t compelled by any of the women’s stories or ties to each other.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early release in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is based on the true story of two actors and a writer , Vivien Leigh, Maureen O'Sullivan and Sonia Orwell. The three were all at the same convent school in the early twentieth century and each went on to become famous.
The book travels through their lives at breakneck speed and it's a diverting tale of the 'Golden Age' of cinema. Its an entertaining book, although did feel slightly superficial at times. The historical detail is well written and the book felt fun, if not earth shattering.

This book takes us through the Golden age of 1920 cinema, teeling the story of three women..

Maureen a movie star. Sonia was the aspiring writer who became George Orwell’s wife, and Vivien who starred as Cleopatra.

What a group of women.. they changed history, became legendary and survived in an era what was predominantly a mans world,

There tragedies and triumps are laid bare and this well written and researched book is a joy to read.

I loved it

I happen to enjoy books that take us through the ages, I happen to like books that take our characters through their life, and this book was no exception

I was completely riveted into these three women’s stories from little girls all the way up

I totally recommend this book!

Absolutely love this fictional take on some of the most legendary women of Hollywoods Golden Age! Perfect for books clubs.
