The Hidden Life of Aster Kelly

audioboek


After winning a prestigious fashion-design contest in 1948, Aster Kelly flees the world of modeling in New York and arrives in Beverly Hills to claim her prize: a design apprenticeship with Fernando Tivoli. But Fernando has no such job available. Heā€™s busily preparing for the opportunity of a lifetimeā€”proving to Galaxy Studios that he is the perfect couturier for their A-list stars. The moment he meets Aster, though, he knows sheā€™s the missing ingredient he needs and asks her to be his stand-in model for Lauren Bacall, promising to mentor her if he wins the contract. Aster and Fernando quickly become entangled with Hollywood insidersā€”Aster with the head of Galaxy Studios, Fernando with up-and-coming star Christopher Pageā€”and their friendship becomes essential as they navigate a glamorous and complicated existence where whatā€™s real must often be hidden and no one is quite what they seem. As Asterā€™s ambitions grow and she faces a crisis and Fernandoā€™s future is threatened by the judgmental Hollywood machine, Aster makes a decision that changes the trajectory of their lives forever. Twenty-five years later, despite knowing little of her motherā€™s time in Hollywood, Asterā€™s daughter, Lissy, is poised to become a Broadway star. But when the musical gets off to a rocky start, Lissy makes a rash decision of her own in an attempt to save the show. And when long-buried secrets blindside them both, mother and daughter are forced to question everything they thought they knew.
