Book review – A Hollywood Ending

Sarah Clarke of The Torbay Bookshop reviews the latest releases.

I just couldn’t resist a sneaky peek inside A Hollywood Ending by Robyn Sisman and found it to be one of those books that once started, just couldn’t be put down. Spoilt American starlet Paige Carson flees to London after her US career takes a bit of a nosedive to star in a small budget production of “As You Like It”. After many trials she finds both love and respect for her acting abilities. It was at times an outrageously funny send-up of La La Land and the British Snob Scene and I cackled my way to the very last page.

A Hollywood Ending, Robyn Sisman, Orion, £9.99, 9780752898889

Drawn to the Valley open studios

posted by Cptn

Open studio season is set to start again on Saturday (August 30) when the Drawn to the Valley group of artists open their doors and studios to all and sundry in the Tamar Valley.

The studios will be open for a week and close on September 7, but during that time you’ll be able to traverse the countryside visiting the 84 artists (30 more than last year) in the fifth year of this event, which, according to reports, attracted more than 6,000 visitors last year.

Download your Drawn to the Valley 2008 Open Studio directory and have a gander at the Drawn to the Valley site.
