A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Girl From Hollywood was a contemporary novel (now reads as historical) originally serialized in Munsey's Magazine from June-November 1922. The ranch described is that of Edgar Rice Burroughs himself, but the story is about the Pennington family and the relationship they have with a Hollywood actress who comes to stay with them. Unlike most of Burroughs' work, this tale doesn't have a real hero, and the characters struggle with substance abuse.
