The Beloved Children by Tina Jackson is a captivating tale set against the backdrop of Fankes' Theatre during the closing days of World War II. Three young women, Chrysanthemum, Rose and Orage, come together as The Three Graces, performing on stage until their lives are forever changed by an encounter with Dolores and Janna, two enigmatic wardrobe mistresses. As the war draws to a close, the boundaries between reality and mysticism begin to blur. Jackson's masterful storytelling weaves together elements of fortune telling, ghosts, and evocative descriptions of the final days of vaudeville theatre. With its unique blend of humour, heartbreak, joy, and poignancy, this book is sure to leave a lasting impression. With its memorable characters and immersive world-building, The Beloved Children will draw you in and refuse to let go. Once you've met Janna, Dolores, and The Three Graces, you'll want to return to their company again and again.
