This is another glitzy extravaganza from Victoria Fox, just right for the summer.
Now, now, stop your fussing, we might just get one.
Not only is this a pacey and exciting read, but Fox’s writing romps away from the beginning. Let me quote:
She wondered, sometimes, if they had started off as one person. All things combined, until a silver blade entered their mother’s womb and curled them apart.
Isn’t that ‘curled’ sharp and well imagined. And so it goes on. Buy it, whether the sun is out or not.
So what is it about?
When Argentinian twin sisters Calida and Terisita Santiago are separated aged fifteen they think they will never see each other again. Wrenched from her poor but happy life on their family farm Terisita is adopted by world-famous British actress Simone Geddes, who plans to make her into a superstar actress and showers her with all that money can buy. Terisita, who has spent her childhood reading Mills & Boon novels, is in her element and on the road to becoming one of the world’s most loved movie stars.
Betrayed by her sister,, Calida vows that no matter how famous or successful her twin sister becomes, she will fight her way to the top and take on Terisita. So, have camera, will travel. And Calida does, through the ranks of the world of fashion photography.
The rest you will have to read for yourselves, but I reckon it could well be your cup of tea, or glass of champagne.
