Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “Strangers in the Night; A Novel of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardiner” by Heather Webb, William Morrow, March 21, 2023, On tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

Heather Webb, the author of “Strangers in the Night; A Novel of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner,” has magically transported me back to the ‘Golden Age” of Hollywood to all the glitz and glitter of a mesmerizing era. In this Historical Fiction and Romantic novel, I am intrigued and captivated by the big production studios, the producers, the directors, and the actors and actresses. I love how Heather Webb vividly describes the Hollywood scene through her writing and storytelling.

It had been difficult to have a stable relationship in Hollywood during this era. It was difficult to get roles, and women had more challenges than men. I was thrilled to read about the relationship between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardiner. The highs and lows of their romance and careers were intriguing. Both had a magnetic pull and attraction. Both were complex and complicated people. The author writes such a memorable and thought-provoking novel that I highly recommend it.
