Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In the final months of World War II, Ellie Morgan, a San Francisco newspaper secretary, is torn between planning her wedding and pursuing her dream of becoming a columnist. Instead of focusing on domestic life, she dedicates herself to uncovering the truth about her missing pilot father. Her quest intensifies when she finds a stack of love letters from a woman who is not her mother, plunging her into a search for answers about her father's life and the woman who loved him. Arriving at her aunt Iris's home with the letters, Ellie unwittingly stirs up Iris's hidden past as a Ziegfeld Follies showgirl, a life she has kept secret for decades. The name Ellie mentions evokes fear in Iris, as her glamorous days in 1920s New York are shadowed by a dark history she believes led to murder. Together, they embark on a cross-country journey to uncover the truth in the City That Never Sleeps, challenging everything they thought they knew about their pasts and futures. Inspired by a true Jazz Age murder cold case and the ongoing mystery of over 72,000 missing Americans from World War II, this narrative delves into the stories we tell ourselves and the complexities of love and memory.
