Book description
Ellie is a sweet-natured brunette, generous of heart with a sparkling
smile and an accent which reveals her East End background.
Bonny is beautiful and spoilt, with cascades of blonde hair, the
brightest pair of blue eyes and a mouth like Cupid's bow.
The two girls meet in London at the end of the war when, seduced by
two American airmen, they pool their wits and resources and set off to
make a living on the stage. Set against the hardship and austerity of
post-war Britain, and the glamour and ruthlessness of life in variety
theatre, their story is one of sacrifice and burning ambition. But
most of all of a powerful friendship that lasts against all odds.
Lesley Pearse was born in Rochester, Kent, but has lived in the West
Country for over thirty years. She has three daughters and two
grandsons. She is the author of twenty novels and now writes full-time.
