Michael Korda is an author of books I have always enjoyed. The author, Michael Korda is the nephew of Alexander Korda and had a front row seat in the making of Ms. She managed to marry Alexander Korda, one of England's greatest producers and directors. The fascinating thing about this book is that it is a roman a clef about the famous movie star Merle Oberon. This novel is full of colorful characters and intrigue. She uses her intelligence and beauty to become a bona fide movie star mainly by marrying a charismatic director and their union is as enchanting and riveting as any movie. This is one of those books.īeautiful, seductive, Anglo Indian Dawn Avalon flees the street of Calcutta for London when she is wrongfully accused of murder.


When reading reviews and comments by my friends, I'm constantly reminded of books I've read and loved before there was a goodreads.

Goodreads has given me another reason why I love their site so much.
