Do Tell: A Novel di Lindsay Lynch
Actress turned Gossip Columnist in early Hollywood. Different subject.....entertaining.
Lindsay Lynch gives us a peek into the back story of the Golden Age of Hollywood through the eyes of actress-turned-gossip columnist Edie O'Dare. O'Dare's reporting on various scandals affects the lives of actors within a fictional studio.

A solid read and good for a debut novel. It did bog down in a few places but there was a point when I finally sat down and finished it instead of reading a chapter or two each morning.
Meh. A small time Hollywood actress becomes a gossip columnist, a la Hedda Hopper or Louella Parsons, and has a tiny bit of moral compunction about reporting on various scandals that seem so minor (gay men) in these times. The mixing in of real actors and actresses with the made-up ones is confusing. Are we supposed to be spending the whole novel guessing who's who? I didn't care enough. I also thought it was very strange that the author is a book buyer for Parnassus Books of Nashville, owned by Ann Patchett, and Patchett herself blurbed Do Tell at a reading I attended, and then there's no credit given at all to Patchett in the acknowledgments.… (altro)
