“My father’s wife died. My mother said we should drive down to his place and see what might be in it for us.”
So begins this remarkable novel by Amy Bloom, whose critically acclaimed Away was called “a literary triumph” (The New York Times). Lucky Us is a brilliantly written, deeply moving, fantastically funny novel of love, heartbreak, and luck.
Disappointed
by their families, Iris, the hopeful star and Eva the sidekick, journey
through 1940s America in search of fame and fortune. Iris’s ambitions
take the pair across the America of Reinvention in a stolen station
wagon, from small-town Ohio to an unexpected and sensuous Hollywood, and
to the jazz clubs and golden mansions of Long Island.
With
their friends in high and low places, Iris and Eva stumble and shine
though a landscape of big dreams, scandals, betrayals, and war. Filled
with gorgeous writing, memorable characters, and surprising events, Lucky Us
is a thrilling and resonant novel about success and failure, good luck
and bad, the creation of a family, and the pleasures and inevitable
perils of family life, conventional and otherwise. From Brooklyn’s
beauty parlors to London’s West End, a group of unforgettable people
love, lie, cheat and survive in this story of our fragile, absurd,
heroic species.
