Reseña del libro "Hear Them Roar (en Inglés)"
In 1920s Chicago, dreams seem to be as easy to catch as fireflies in a jar. But are dreams worth dying for? Mavis Prescott and Haakon Hagen, aka Queenie and the King, are on top of the world, having danced their way into headlining at The Showroom, the newest, swankiest dancehall in Chicago. But a monstrous muse is soon lapping up Mavis' attention, causing Haakon to turn his attention toward a twisted temptress who could threaten all he's worked so hard to achieve. After being pulled up on stage to sing at The Green Mill Jazz Club, Alfred Van Buren's star is rising faster than bubbles in a glass of champagne. Yet more than fame, Alfred longs for Lillian Hagen, his best friend's sister. Lillian Hagen is living her dream-a model for Marshall Field and Company-when into the lavish department store walks a man so devastatingly charming, so utterly irresistible, that she finds herself following him, regardless of the danger he's leading her into. Join these four friends as they roar through a year of the most spellbinding decade ever! "HEAR THEM ROAR is a work of fiction, inspired by my father's youth, growing up in 1920s Chicago as a dancer and entertainer. The story is drawn from his many stories - stories ripe with glamour, danger, love and loss - as well as my own imagination." Anastacia Hawkins
