Meer over het boek

The story revolves around two sisters, Alice and Ruth DeVere, who are anxiously waiting for their father to return from a meeting at a moving picture studio. Alice, with her darker features, is concerned about their father's tardiness, while Ruth, the fairer sister, tries to reassure her by suggesting that discussions about new film plans may have delayed him. Their contrasting personalities and the underlying tension about their father's absence hint at deeper themes of family dynamics and the uncertainties of the entertainment industry.
