«Queenie» is the romantic and historical novel by Michael Korda, published by Le Livre de poche in paperback (727 pages, in French).
Queenie Kelly, a young Anglo-Indian woman growing up in a poor neighborhood of Calcutta in the 1930s, dreams of leaving her origins behind. Her rise takes her from India to England, Paris, New York, Hollywood and Mexico, until she triumphs as the star Dawn Avalon. Passion, loss and notoriety mark a path in which Queenie must sustain the image she has built.
This 1987 French edition includes the complete text. It has been described as a roman à clef about Merle Oberon: the author was the nephew of Alexander Korda, the actress's first husband.
A work for readers of romantic and historical fiction, with particular interest in stories of social ascent and classic Hollywood.
Michael Korda is an English-born writer and novelist who was editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster in New York City.
