The Chaperone: Film Tie-In
Autor Laura Moriartyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2019
On a summer's day in 1922, Cora Carlisle boards a train from Wichita, Kansas, to New York City, charged with the care of a stunningly beautiful young girl with a jet-black bob and wisdom way beyond her fifteen years.
The girl is Louise Brooks and, for her, New York offers a chance of stardom beneath the bright lights of Broadway. For Cora, whose formative years were spent at The New York Home for Friendless Girls, the trip offers the opportunity to discover the truth about her past. It will also, although she doesn't realize it yet, offer her the chance for a very different future.
Set in a time of illicit thrills and daring glamour, a time when prohibition reigns and speakeasies thrive behind closed doors,The Chaperonetells Cora's story as she finally discovers who she is and - more importantly - who she wants to be.

A lovely novel, full of humanity
It's impossible not to be drawn in byThe Chaperone. Laura Moriarty has delivered the richest and realest possible heroine in Cora Carlisle . . . What a beautiful book. I loved every page
Enthralling . . . In this layered and inventive story, Moriarty raises profound questions about family, sexuality, history and whether it is luck or will - or a combination of the two - that makes for a wonderful life
An evocative look at the early life of silent-film icon Louise Brooks . . . Mesmerizing
Surprising and poignant
A fun romp
Devour it
First-rate fiction . . . sharp, with great empathy
