Interesting enough...

The book was interesting in that it provided context to a fairly unknown, but not forgotten actress.
However, I found it sad to realize that these actresses - whom I had previously chose to view through the rose colored glasses of the roles they played - were as morally bankrupt as much of Hollywood is today. What happens to people when they become “famous”?
It was difficult to listen to when I wanted to make Merle a heroine, but found it impossible due to her morally challenged behavior.
Truth does not make a poor read...I was simply saddened.

Wonderful portrayal of film industry

Once again Lindsay Ashford tells a riveting story. This time Merle Oberon. Told with heartfelt emotions about rising to the top amidst conflict.

Disappointed

As I listened, it became apparent that the author was not going to give a true accounting of Merle life, which is what I was hoping to find.

fascinating and complicated woman.

This was a barely fictionlized story of Meryl Oberion. I was very interested to find out what was true.

Just ok

This cannot hold a candle to the author’s book about Agatha Christie. So if you haven’t read that one yet, don’t let it put you off of that one!

very enjoyable

I usually read mysteries, but really enjoyed this book. Now I want to learn more about the actress.

Whisper of the moon moth
