Synopsis

A daring actress fights for independence and survival in London’s bustling theatre world.

This historical fiction follows Barbara Power, a young woman who Wahl as Fancy Telling, carves out a career in the capital’s glittering but demanding stage scene. As she partners with her larger‑than‑life showman husband and negotiates the power plays behind a leading London revue, she must balance ambition with personal ties that threaten her growing independence. The story immerses readers in late‑Edwardian and early‑modern theatre life, where talent, luck, and grit determine who stays in the spotlight.

  • A vivid look at life behind the curtain, from rehearsal rooms to glamorous suppers.
  • A portrait of ambition, friendship, and the choices women face to control their careers.
  • The tension between art, love, and the practical demands of making a living in the theatre.
  • A character study of a determined actress navigating a fickle industry and personal loyalties.
Ideal for readers who enjoy theatre history, character‑driven drama, and richly drawn social settings in a bygone era.
