The Story is Not As Racy as the Front Cover, but Good

Decent novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was an easy, light read. Perfect for a sick day. The story is about a young girl in Paris and follows her as she loses her beloved grandmother, then her father, and then the betrayal of her fiance. A very high strung, independent spirit, she runs off with a traveling lanternist. I enjoyed this insight into the early days of "moving pictures" and I wish there had been more. Later into the novel, and not till chapter eighteen, she actually starts acting in the early movies. I feel that part of her life was rushed. The book could have been longer, giving even more insight into the beginning of the movie industry, but still a good read. There is also a nice romance mixed in, but nothing racy, as the front cover may have you believing.
