Co-author of Inherit the Wind, Auntie Mame, and numerous theater masterpieces, Jerome Lawrence explores in his first novel the story of three fascinating women: the great actress Madame Rachel, Julia Cole, and Kati Singer. Amalgams of living personalities he has known well, Lawrence's characters move in and out of history, as acting legend Madame Rachel recounts the tale of her love in a world of theater history that includes Sigmund Romberg, Rudolph Friml, David Belasco, Marc Connelly, Dorothy Parker, and the entire Algonquin Round Table. But his is really a tale of inheritance. the inheritances given to each of us through our blood-ties, through our experience, through our culture. Like the golden room in which Madame Rachel enchants her willing pupils, the world becomes a warm, golden place - a lie of fiction which through the imagination is transformed into truth - in which each of us is permitted to join the circle of human experience and wonderment.
