Laura Cassidy's Walk of Fame

Angebote / Angebote:

Laura Cassidy is going all the way. Hollywood. Starry lights. The Walk of Fame. It’s her destiny. At least, that’s what her movie-obsessed father used to tell her. That was always the plan.Sure, it’s been a bit slow-going, but the stars have finally aligned. The long-awaited new theatre is about to open, a hotshot director is taking charge and their first production calls for a particularly fiery female lead – a part with Laura’s name on it.It won’t be plain sailing. There’s her meddlesome older sister to get past – freshly returned from saving the world. Her occasional lover and stand-in leading man seems to think it’s all a waste of time. And probably best not to mention the audition to her mother, especially after what happened last time . . . Laura just has to stay one step ahead of them all.Channelling the era of Hollywood’s silver screen and told in a voice that blends devil humour, quiet mayhem, and a singled-minded optimism that might just lead to disaster, Laura Cassidy’s Walk of Fame tells the story of a troubled soul desperate to find her place in life.Praise for Ithaca‘Its exuberance and punch are beguiling . . . Very funny indeed.’ Daily Mail‘A fierce and funny novel.’ Irish Times‘It’s a stunner.’ Edna O’Brien
