Über diesen Titel
A compelling feel-good novel featuring a proud and gutsy heroine, for anyone who believes in the resilience of the human spirit.
A RESILIENT SPIRIT
Dolly Jamieson is not homeless, she's merely between permanent abodes. The 78-year-old spends her days keeping warm at the local library, where she enjoys sparring with the officious head librarian and helping herself to the free morning tea. It's not so bad, really.
A FORGOTTEN STAR
But it's certainly a far cry from the 1960s, when this humble girl from Geelong became an international star of the stage. As the acclaimed lead in the Broadway production of The Rose of France, all Dolly's dreams had come true.
So how, in her old age, did she end up here?
AN UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP
When Jane Leveson, a well-to-do newcomer to the library, shows an interest in Dolly, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship - and soon Jane is offering to help Dolly write her memoirs.
Yet Dolly can detect a deep sadness in the younger woman's eyes. Perhaps by working together to recount the glittering highs, devastating lows and tragic secrets of Dolly's life, both women can finally face their pasts and start to heal . . .
Kritikerstimmen
'From the glamour of Broadway in the 1960s to the realities of life for the unhoused today, this is a riveting and heartbreaking story of friendship, second chances and hope.' KELLY RIMMER
'This novel had me from the first page. It's been years since a book has made me feel like this.' SALLY HEPWORTH
wonderfully engaging story, interesting look into show business, family struggles, and friendship. Yet warm, full of hope and serendipity. This book will stay with me, and I wish I could read onwards about Dolly Jamieson .
The incredible speaker has made this lovely lady come alive !
Unique and lovely
