American Beauty

Description

Editorial Review - Kirkus Reviews Barrett's swank prose and her surprisingly sharp eye for emotional detail give an aura of freshness to this oldest of romance-fiction scenarios--the flashbacked career of a legendary Broadway star. She's Mary Gay, who, while preparing for her 75th birthday party in 1975 Manhattan, is robbed at gunpoint by a jewel-thief. . . which, of course, inspires Mary to remember her whole life.
