Praise for The Great Pretenders
"What a good book! Engagingly readable, full of Golden Age of Hollywood glitz--and a wonderful story of idealism, courage and the price of love. Enjoyed every page!" Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander
"In her riveting new novel, Laura Kalpakian has given us a heroine to cheer for in this juicy tale of Hollywood. Roxanne Granville s journey from diffident daughter of privilege to boundary-shattering career woman who takes on both the Hollywood blacklist and the racial prejudices of the early Civil Rights era is breathtaking and moving, even epic. Melanie Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Girls in the Picture
[An] empowering, beautifully written story transports readers to 1950s-era Hollywood. Woman s World
This empowering historical fiction novel reminds women everywhere that they re capable of anything they put their minds to. Brit & Co
Brave and confident, [Roxanne] refuses to let men make all the rules. She Reads
"Both a wild romp through glittering 1950s Hollywood, and a poignant journey of love and courage in the blacklist-era of the silver screen. I was swept away by the passionate story and whip-smart writing. Laura Kalpakian's clever prose introduces us to a vibrant woman we can admire--a woman both brave and vulnerable. After one fearless choice, her life seems to careen toward certain wreckage, yet Roxanne is there to show us that integrity and love are the conquering powers. Deeply moving, intelligent and charming, this is a story to savor. " Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop at Water s End
"A fascinating journey into the intrigues and hypocrisies of 1950s Hollywood, coupled with an indomitable heroine who dares to shatter the rules. Exciting, fast-paced, and revelatory. C.W. Gortner, author of The Romanov Empress
"Set against the glitter of Hollywood during the McCarthy era, one courageous woman, forced to start anew, reinvents herself as an agent and ends up selling blacklisted scripts. The screenwriters she represents are every bit as forbidden as the African American man she falls in love with. Kalpakian has written a timely story that deftly deals with racism and the fight for justice. The Great Pretenders is poignant, touching and often filled with laugh-out-loud wit. Renée Rosen, author of Park Avenue Summer
