But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from multiple points of view, 'Eve in Hollywood' describes how Towles' heroine crafts a new future for herself and others in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows and dive bars of Los Angeles.Written with wit, humour and sophistication, Table for Two is a glittering and stylish offering from the author of A Gentleman in Moscow, The Lincoln Highway and Rules of Civility.Praise for The Lincoln Highway-"A rollicking cross-country adventure, rife with unforgettable characters, vivid scenery and suspensethat will keep readers flying through the pages."
