Can't we be friends?
9.99 €
1952. During the heyday of music clubs and the Golden Age of Hollywood, the story of two women begins: the Queen of Jazz Ella Fitzgerald and the movie star Marilyn Monroe. One rose to the heights of the musical Olympus, and the other conquered the hearts of viewers on the screen. When the actress needed vocal lessons, she knew exactly who to turn to.
Strong and courageous Ella, gentle and fragile Marilyn... Behind the rapid career rise of such different women, there was pain and disappointment: social prejudices, absurd desires of producers, successes and failures in their personal lives. At the moments of long-awaited meetings, the actress and the singer, throwing off their masks, share their most intimate secrets. A sincere conversation under the crunch of pickles from a favorite cafe turns out to be more important than the adoration of fans and more than once saves friends on the brink of despair, until one day their paths diverge.
This novel, woven from many stories about the behind-the-scenes lives of stars, will captivate everyone who believes in the power of female friendship.
