Summary:  "Set in the streets of Montmartre in the time of the music halls, this is the story of the singer Fréhel (Marguerite Boulc'h), born in Paris in 1891 to a poor, dysfunctional family, struggling with addiction and depression throughout her music hall career, charting her career as a singer against the backdrop of two World Wars, the rise of the cinema and the disappearance of an older Paris. An exploration of performance, of celebrity, and of the desire to maintain control over one's own narrative; of Fréhel's frenetic and continual movement from place to place, moment to moment, this is the story of a woman alone, living a career marked by periods of astonishing production and lengthening periods of absence. Sarah Bernstein was born in Montreal. She now lives in Edinburgh. This is her first book"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Canadian poetry.
