The Chelsea Girls by Fiona Davis
3.0
I like Fiona Davis' books more for the historical detail than for the characters, and in that way this book did not disappoint. She clearly has a formula for writing these books: the characters are never entirely believable, but the plot is designed to work in a lot of New York atmosphere from different eras. It works as far as it goes.
This book was focused on McCarthyism of the 1950s. I know enough about that era to say that Davis did a good job of showing the dilemma that those in the entertainment industry faced during those times. The topic is relevant to day, which is no doubt why she chose it.
If you are interested in learning more about that period in American history, you will enjoy this book.
