Description

Written with all the ingenuity and twisty tautness of a thriller The Times

From the Booker-winning Irish author, a brilliant and moving novel about fame, sexual power, and a daughter s search to understand her mother s hidden truths.

This is the story of Irish theatre legend Katherine O Dell, as told by her daughter Norah. It tells of early stardom in Hollywood, of highs and lows on the stages of Dublin and London s West End. Katherine s life is a grand performance, with young Norah watching from the wings.

But this romance between mother and daughter cannot survive Katherine s past, or the world s damage. As Norah uncovers her mother s secrets, she acquires a few of her own. Then, fame turns to infamy when Katherine decides to commit a bizarre crime.

Actress is about a daughter s search for the truth: the dark secret in the bright star, and what drove Katherine finally mad . . .
