Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the vein of The Paris Wife and The Personal Librarian comes this debut novel, a magnificent work of ?biographical fiction? that reimagines the turbulent and triumphant early years of Ella Fitzgerald, arguably the greatest singer of the twentieth century.When fifteen-year-old Ella Fitzgerald?s mother dies at the height of the Depression in 1932, the teenager goes to work for the mob to support herself and her family. When the law finally catches up, the ?ungovernable? adolescent is incarcerated in the New York Training School for Girls in upstate New York?a wicked prison infamous for its harsh treatment of inmates, especially Black ones.
