About this listen

It begins with a singing and dancing septet in dusty church halls. But it is not the sisters’ dancing that fills the seats: it is the torrents of hair they let loose at the end of each show.

For their fame and fortune will come at a terrible price...

What a book ! It's something a bit different, a great listen that's intriguing and leaves you thinking about the characters .The author's historical notes are an added gem too.
I'd definitely recommend.
