Delayed Rays of a Star by Amanda Lee Koe

4.0

Every once in a while it's fun to go out in the stacks and grab a book I know nothing about, purely based on its cover and synopsis. This one really worked out for me. It's a novel based on Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong, and Leni Riefenstahl- their careers in film, their relationships, but also tangential people in their lives that have engrossing stories of their own. The novel covers their entire lifespans with vignettes that eventually get woven together, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone who enjoys a lot of fast-paced action.
