City of Flickering Light

by Juliette Fay

Venture back to the dazzling Golden Age of Hollywood with 'City of Flickering Light', as Juliette Fay takes us on a vibrant journey to the 1920s, where silent films reign supreme. Three daring friends—dancer Irene Van Beck, her companion Millie Martin, and comedian Henry Weiss—abandon the uncertainty of a traveling burlesque show, leaping into the entrancing yet tumultuous world of Hollywood with dreams of stardom. Amidst the luster of Tinseltown, they grapple with the harsh realities of the entertainment industry, facing challenges of poverty, temptation, and the cruelest prejudices of their time. But beneath the guise of the flickering lights, as they yearn for acclaim and fortune, a deeper quest unfolds—a collective yearning for love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. As they navigate this world of illusions, what shines brightest is their unyielding bond, a friendship that anchors them through trials and triumphs in an era as captivating as it is unforgiving.
