    About this audiobook

    Nan King, an oyster girl, is captivated by the music hall phenomenon Kitty Butler, a male impersonator extraordinaire treading the boards in Canterbury. Through a friend at the box office, Nan manages to visit all her shows and finally meet her heroine. Soon after, she becomes Kitty's dresser and the two head for the bright lights of Leicester Square where they begin a glittering career as music-hall stars in an all-singing and dancing double act. At the same time, behind closed doors, they admit their attraction to each other and their affair begins.

      Three stars for a read that is somewhat evocative. There is plenty there to go into. Much to long. DNF at about half way just due to the fact that it was much to long. I was already 6 hours into the audio and board out of my mind and wasn't going to listen to the Drama of this would be star turned common streetwalker in a time when she was a criminal for everything she did. Again there was a lot there and I might pick up the second half in a year or so one day but it was better suited as a series then as a whole book on its own.

      A marvelous book! Well written, entertaining and Lively. A lesbian “Tom Jones” story. Very fun.
