In 1922, 15-year-old Louise Brooks leaves Wichita, Kansas, for New York to attend a dance school, accompanied by Cora Carlisle, an older, married woman. While Louise Brooks would later become a silent film icon, Laura Moriarty's novel focuses on the life of Cora, a conventional suffragist hiding her own secrets and personal motives for the trip. Through the generational gap and differing attitudes of the two women, the author explores the social shifts of the era in this fascinating and well-researched narrative about 20th-century history and changing mindsets.
Laura Moriarty is an American novelist.
