Summary of C.K. Steads 'Sister Hollywood'
I have red this book by the well known New Zealand author C.K. Stead for my elective course in New Zealand Literature. The plot is about Edie Harper who starts a Hollywood career and her younger brother Bill Harper back home in New Zealand. She disappeared without a word many years ago and the family is quite concerned about her wellbeing. Then she suddenly appears on the cinema screen and Bill knows he has a sister in Hollywood. The story jumps between these two, the career of Edie and the life of Bill who decides to look after his sister.
The book is semi autobiographical, so it is full of information about the author and his family. His style of writing is easy to understand and very vivid at the same time. The story gives also a good insight in the movie business during the McCarthy era and the craft of movie making in general.
