About this audiobook
'Sumptuous ... part Moulin Rouge, part Alfred Hitchcock' Grazia
Scandal, intoxication and lies flourish in the silent film studios of Paris.
A silent film, destroyed in a fire in 1914 at the Pathé studio, before it was seen even by its director. A lowly seamstress, who makes the costumes she should be wearing, but believes her talent - and the secret she keeps too - will soon get her a dressing room of her own.
A famous - and dashing - creator of spectacular cinematic illusions, husband to a beautiful, volatile actress, the most adored icon of the Parisian studios. All fit together, like scenes in a movie. And as you will see, this plot has a twist we beg you not to disclose ...
'Striking' Independent
