More about the book

A National Bestselling AuthorNarrated by the twenty-year-old Esme, daughter of a two-bit gangster and a movie showgirl, The Magnificent Esme Wells moves between pre-WWII Hollywood and postwar Las Vegas -- a golden age when Jewish gangsters and movie moguls were often indistinguishable from each other. Esme's voice -- sharp, observant, with a quiet, mordant wit -- chronicles the rise and fall and further fall of her complicated parents, as well as her own painful reckoning with love and life, in a coming-of-age story with a tinge of noir.
