Nearly thirty years earlier, Florrie takes off on an adventure of her own, driving her Model T westward from New Jersey in pursuit of broader horizons. On an impulse, Louise leaves a film shoot in Las Vegas and sets off for her father’s house on the East Coast, hoping for answers about the curious inheritance and, perhaps, about her own troubled marriage. Among Florrie’s possessions are several unproduced screenplays, personal journals, and,inexplicably, old photographs of Louise’s mother, Ethel. In the 1950s, movie star Louise Wilde is caught between an unfulfilling acting career and a shaky marriage when she receives an out-of-the-blue phone call: She has inherited the estate of Florence ‘Florrie’ Daniels, a Hollywood screenwriter she barely recalls meeting. I am really looking forward to reading this book when I get a gap in my busy book schedule.Ī woman sets out on a cross-country road trip, unknowingly tracing in reverse the path her mother traveled thirty years before. Below is a spotlight on the book and details about the author.
A nice read for a cold wintry afternoon.Today I am part of the blog tour for Woman Enters Left by Jessica Brockmole.
Via letters to and from all the players in the novel, through many years, this story is told. Margaret has her own role in this battle and while trying to keep children safe, she sets out to uncover the truth. It is the start of World War 2 and all of London is under attack. Margaret’s quest is not without its own quandaries. It is then 1940 and Elspeth’s daughter discovers the treasured letters and tries to unravel the mystery her mother will not talk about. War separates them, even though they do eventually meet a couple of times when the young American is on leave. Each becoming, through those letters who they wish to be.
Over the course of many years, they continue to correspond through letters, that eventually turn into love letters. It is 1912 and Elspeth a young, published poet, living on the Isle of Skye, receives a fan letter from a young American who lives in Illinois, USA. Although slightly predictable, this lovely story is played out across an ocean and spans 28 years, in peacetime and 2 world wars.
