When Eva's mother abandons her on Iris's front porch, the girls don't seem to have much in common - except, they soon discover, a father. Thrown together with no mothers to care for them and a father who could not be considered a parent, Iris and Eva become one another's family. Iris wants to be a movie star; Eva is her sidekick. Together, they journey across 1940s America from scandal in Hollywood to the jazz clubs and golden mansions of Long Island, stumbling, cheating and loving their way through a landscape of war, betrayals and big dreams.
Amy Bloom is the New York Times bestselling author of five novels: I'll Be Right Here, White Houses, Lucky Us, Away, and Love Invents Us; and three collections of short stories: Where the God of Love Hangs Out, Come to Me (finalist for the National Book Award), and A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You (finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award). Her memoir, In Love, has also received wide acclaim. She has written for magazines such as the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Vogue, Elle, and the Atlantic, and her work has been translated into seventeen languages. She is the director of the Shapiro Center at Wesleyan University.
