The Chelsea Girls by Fiona Davis
3.0
3 1/2 stars. I’ve read all of her books and continue to be impressed with the way she weaves in historical fiction to her story line. I’m also interested in knowing what woman has done her wrong in life because she writes about female friendships gone amuck very well.
This book takes place primarily in the 1950’s when NYC Broadway theatre directors, actors and actresses along with other creative forces were being black listed as communists.
Hazel is a playwright and director. Maxine is her best friend and leading lady in her directorial debut. They live in the Chelsea hotel. The Chelsea hotel is an intriguing backdrop and houses so many creative artists all with their unique stories. I think you know or can imagine what happens to Hazel and Maxine.
This book was not my favorite of Fiona Davis’. I really liked Hazel’s character but struggled with connecting to Maxine’s. I also thought the ending was little abrupt and left me wanting a better resolution.
