Hand's pungently atmospheric novel portrays illicit sexual love and theatrical talent as matters nearly sacred. Cousins Maddy and Rogan, plus glamorous Aunt Kate, are the last of their family's theatrical legacy. Rogan's otherworldly singing stuns audiences, but Kate chooses reliable Maddy for acting school in London, splitting the lovers. Romantic readers will be swept through the short novel in a single sitting.
