About this listen

In the tradition of Michel Faber and Sarah Waters, here's a literary historical novel about an orphan girl's journey from poverty to film stardom, set against the grand backdrop of World War I Berlin, the cabaret era, the run-up to World War II, and the innovations in art and industry that accompanied it all.©2008 Beatrice Colin (P)2008 Penguin Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Fiction

What the critics say

"This extravaganza had me from page one." (Emma Donoghue, author of Slammerkin)

"Colin's heroine, Lilly Aphrodite, is as rich, alive, and dangerous as the city she inhabits; and as the novel progresses, Berlin's history becomes her own." (David Ebershoff, author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl)

"Absorbing...Deftly captur[es] the era's sense of frenzied invention and seductive promise." (The New York Times Book Review)
