Ellie - Hardcover
Set against a background of wartime deprivation, glittering showgirls and seedy provincial boarding houses, this is the story of Marleen, an ageing dancer who drinks to forget, heroic fireman Charley King, and corrupt producer Ambrose Dingle. It tells of their friendship, sacrifice and ambition.

From the Inside Flap:
Set against the hardship and austerity of post-war Britain, and the glamour and ruthlessness of life in variety theatre, this is a story of sacrifice and burning ambition. But most of all of a powerful friendship that lasts against all odds.
