Vera Venti (Used Paperback) - Nia Williams

It all begins with a moment of light and shadow. A fairground trick. The moving pictures have arrived in a Welsh valley town, bringing magic and seduction into the lives of the Pitts family. This is the beginning of the story of Vera Venti, child of the cinema. Her journey from Wales to Hollywood and back again is related in all its scandalous detail by her greatest fan. The Director's Cut is a family saga, a tale of the Great Golden Lie of Hollywood, and a tour of the turbulent 20th century—an age reflected and defined by the movies.
