Publisher Description

Simone Fleurier is wrenched from her home on a Provencal lavender farm at the age of 14 after the accidental death of her father. Forced to become a maid at the boarding house of her Aunt Augustine in Marseilles, Simone's life is hard and impoverished. But one of her aunt's boarders, the beautiful Camille Casal, a star at the local music hall, gives Simone a dream: that one day she too will be a famous singer and dancer. Years later, the famous Simone Fleurier, toast of Paris, watches Nazi troops occupy the city. Suddenly, her world is turned upside down, and Simone must make new and dangerous choices.

    " This book started out beautifully. The whole middle just dragged on and on and on, and the end was really good too. All in all very disappointing. "

    " Loved the last quarter of the book - but unfortunately found the first three quarters a bit slow and a bit hard to get into. Fortunately the end made up for that and the parts of the book that focused around the main character's involvement in World War II were totally compelling. "

    " Thoroughly enjoyed this book, couldn't put it done while on holidays. Originally judged it by its cover not thinking much of it but was pleasantly surprised. "

    " Not worth buying. One of those books you borrow from a friend or the library as you would only read it once. Story is a bit predictable and soppy but entertaining enough to finish the book. "

    " A very disappointing follow up to White Gardenia. The main character was sickeningly perfect - everything fell into her lap. It seems to me Belinda Alexander wrote this to share what she'd learned in her research , rather than because she had a cracking good story to tell. "

    " Initially I enjoyed this book and was interested in the description of life as a music hall artist interesting. But as the book dragged on, it all became a bit improbable - just how much can happen to any one heroine. "
