~ Standard Hardcover Moving from Brooklyn's beauty parlors to London's West End, Lucky Us introduces readers to Eva and Iris. Disappointed by their families, Iris, the hopeful star , and Eva, the sidekick, journey across 1940s America in search of fame and fortune . . . Brilliantly written, deeply moving, and fantastically funny, Lucky Us is a resonant novel about success and failure, good luck and bad as it unveils a tale of our fragile, absurd, heroic species told through a group of flawed characters who love, lie, cheat, and struggle to survive. “Lucky Us is a sister act, which means a double dose of sauce and naughtiness from the brilliant Amy Bloom, whose crisp, delicious prose gives readers the feel of sprawling, brawling life itself.” -- The Oregonian Show more
