In this first book from novelist Woody Leonard, the triumphant and tragic story of Margot Durning is told against a backdrop of two powerful settings: Hollywood in its heyday, and the desolate landscape of Northwest Oklahoma, where Margot's life begins...and where it finally and fittingly ends.Mr. Leonard's sense of place is rich and meticulous. He captures the magic of the Hollywood of the '30s, and the powerful influence the motion picture industry had on the people who performed, and on the vast, star-struck movie-going audience. And he is also at home in the curious Oklahoma setting that, for all its starkness, has a reality and solidity that Margot never found in Tinsel Town.
