Description
A body falls from a town house window in Harlem, and it looks just like the newest singer at the Apollo. In this evocative novel, Louise Hare weaves a twisting tale of dreams, secrets, and the bright lights of Broadway. Lena Aldridge has arrived in New York City alone, chasing a dream that has quickly dried up after her father's death. When Will offers her a place to stay with his friends in Harlem, she agrees, hoping to find some connection to her past. As Lena settles into this new world, she uncovers stories and secrets about the man she's falling for - and realizes that her own family history may be more complicated than she ever imagined. As Lena becomes drawn to the brightest stage in town, she must navigate the darker side of ambition and desire. With its vivid portrayal of 1930s Harlem, this novel is a gripping exploration of love, loss, and the power of storytelling.
