Why read it?
1 author picked The Garden on Sunset as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Martin Turnbull is somewhat of an expert on Old Hollywood and I found his incredible website in my research for Honey Black.
His website is full of original photos of LA throughout the decades and these were invaluable for me when I was writing certain scenes. I then discovered he had written a series of books based in Hollywood, following three friends who come together to navigate their way through the movie business, starting with The Garden of Allah set in the late 1920s. It’s a fascinating look at the seedier side of Old Hollywood.
From Lisa's list on for fans of Old Hollywood.
