Summary
A glamorous, gossipy, whip-smart and poignant vision of behind-the-scenes 1940s Hollywood, perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Mercury Pictures Presents
THERE'S NOTHING STRONGER THAN A GOOD STORY.
THE QUESTION IS: WHO GETS TO TELL IT?
The clock is ticking on Hollywood actress Edie O'Dare's contract with FWM Studios. Her acting career is going nowhere, and she's running out of time to find a new role in the industry - other than providing salacious details of the latest party or premiere to the press.
So when an up-and-coming starlet hands her an explosive letter - alleging an assault by an A-list actor - Edie helps get the story into print, and buys herself a new career as Tinseltown's new reigning gossip columnist.
Edie has more power on the page than she ever commanded in front of the camera. But dealing in your former friends' secrets comes at a price - and when her scoop turns into the trial of the decade, Edie's decisions have the potential to ruin more than one life...
Do Tell is a glittering journey into Golden Age Hollywood, and a sharply relevant exploration of secrets, power, and who gets to tell your story.
Critic reviews
'In Do Tell Lindsay Lynch takes a glance back at golden-age Hollywood and captures the fizzy magic, the secret lives, and the deep, destructive misogyny within the industry's DNA. This is a wry, entertaining, and incisive debut.' Lily King, bestselling author of Writers & Lovers
'There is little more alluring than the promise of secrets, and Do Tell is full of them--glamorous, tawdry, and human. Lindsay Lynch has created a rich portrait of the lives of early Hollywood's beautiful puppets and those holding their strings.' Emma Straub, author of This Time Tomorrow
'Gossip columnist Edie O'Dare has enemies and sources, but no friends in a Golden Age Hollywood whose gleam is tarnished by exploitation, cruelty and betrayal. Like a latter-day Cecil B. DeMille, Lindsay Lynch deftly directs her large cast of morally complex characters to illuminate issues of fame and notoriety as relevant now as they were almost a century ago.' Geraldine Brooks, New York Times bestselling author of Horse
