It's 1906 and Baby Jane Hudson is the darling of the boardwalk Vaudeville scene, she can sing and dance and blow kisses to her adoring public but there is something cold and rotting prematurely about the mini damdube. Anyone can only wonder what will become of her. 50 years later, and the bright buzzing stage lights and applauds have all been silenced and Jane shuffles through the days drunk, abandoned and dangerously bitter and jealous as her paralyzed older sister Blanche lays upstairs still receiving fawning fan letters and her glory days as a top Hollywood actress have not been forgotten. Bad blood has been simmering for years and the final catalyst is when finances are stretched to the max and then Jane eavesdrops on a conversation about her future. What follows is a deliciously warped cascade of events that spin out of control and slam into the gates of a bunch of horrible revelations and will send you next to the track down the silver screen version. This pageturner just begged to be turned into a media classic and you won't be disappointed by either, trust me. -Purchased and read on kindle -EGP/September 2019 Comments are closed.
