A poignant novel inspired by the Hollywood legend, actress Merle Oberon – famous for playing Cathy to Laurence Olivier’s Heathcliff in the film Wuthering Heights.
For 19-year-old Estelle Thompson, going to the cinema is more than a way to pass the time … it’s a way out. In 1931 in Calcutta, Anglo-Indian girls like Estelle are considered half-breeds, shunned by both English and Indian society. Her only escape is through the silver screen, where she can forget the world around her.
When Estelle catches the eye of a dashing American heir with connections to a major motion-picture studio, he also captures her heart. Soon, Estelle has a one-way ticket to London and a recommendation for a screen test.
To get to the top, she must keep her Indian heritage concealed – and so begins her new identity as movie goddess Merle Oberon. But just as her dreams are poised to come true, she discovers that her own family is keeping a much more shocking secret from her – one that changes everything she’s believed about her past.
