The illegitimate, soon orphaned daughter of a cabaret performer, she lands at a Catholic orphanage where she finds refuge and the first in a string of friendships that will change the direction of her life. When fellow orphan Hanne takes Lilly beyond their stone confines, introducing her to the seedy glamour of Berlin's notorious nightlife, it begins for Lillly a trajectory of reinvention. From urchin to maid, teenage war bride, tingle-tangle bargirl, model, and script typist, Lilly is eventually transformed into one of Germany's leading film stars and a partner in a remarkable love story that will span decades and continents--and be inextricable from the history unfolding around it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGripping, seductive, and masterfully written, \u003ci\u003eThe Glimmer Palace \u003c\/i\u003eis a page-turning story of glitter and splendor, drama and love, friendship and identity.
