Natalie Jenner's Reviews > Starring Adele Astaire

Be swept away to London and New York between the wars with STARRING ADELE ASTAIRE, a bittersweet true-life tale of one of early last century's greatest dancers and most famous siblings. Knight has penned a lovely, evocative and inspiring story about personal choice and sacrifice set during the headiness of the 1920s and the increasingly dark days of depression and war ahead. Ambition, family duty, sibling rivalry, classism, ill-fated love and maternal loss are just some of Adele's struggles when she decides to leave the stage for marriage into one of England's most illustrious titled families. By so deftly and compassionately bringing Adele to life, Knight gives us a most memorable and vital heroine for any age.
