Seventh Veil of Salome: A GMA Book Club Pick
Seventh Veil of Salome: A GMA Book Club Pick | Silvia Moreno-Garcia
12 posts | 11 read | 13 to read
GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK - A young woman wins the role of a lifetime in a film about a legendary heroine--but the real drama is behind the scenes in this sumptuous historical epic from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. "Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia."--Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo 1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. So when the film's mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood--a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue--make for a sizzling combination. But this is the tale of three women, for it is also the story of the princess Salome herself, consumed with desire for the fiery prophet who foretells the doom of her stepfather, Herod: a woman torn between the decree of duty and the yearning of her heart. Before the curtain comes down, there will be tears and tragedy aplenty in this sexy Technicolor saga.

This is 2 stories in 1. The first story takes place in 1950s Hollywood, where ambition, envy, seduction, and a whole lot of racism swirl around the making of a blockbuster film. The second story is the Bible story itself that‘s being made into a movie.

Sylvia Moreno-Garcia has been a favorite since her MEXICAN GOTHIC book but this one has won my heart as my favorite Moreno-Garcia read!

This was a very good book! It involves a dual timeline and went back and forth between biblical times and the 1950s. I usually prefer one timeline story over the other; but in this case, I loved them both. Without any spoilers, I can‘t believe the similarities in events that took place in the 2 periods. I did a mix between a physical and audio book. The narrators were wonderful! I highly recommend this book.

1950‘s Hollywood striving-to-be movies stars - oh, I‘m all in! 🎥 But if you are looking for a story of women supporting women - this ain‘t it🤪 I liked the snippets of interviews between chapters. I thought the alternating chapters between Nancy and Vera were entertaining. I was less interested in the way-back chapters of Salome but understand its significance to the story.

This book is a masterpiece of storytelling. It is the first from the author that I have enjoyed since Mexican Gothic. She weaves the storylines together seamlessly. This would make a fantastic book club pick. I have so many thoughts.

This wasn‘t my favorite Moreno-Garcia book but her writing and characters are always enjoyable! Lots of perspective shifts in this book and an old Hollywood setting. I don‘t know why but I love a rewritten bible story.

I had a $15 gift card for participating in a survey, so I bought a couple new releases (yes, I *definitely* spent more than the gift card 😆) #BookHaul

I‘m only 100 pages in and I already recommend this book, like I do all Moreno-Garcia‘s books. AND she drops Hedda Hopper in there, come on!

Here are my picks for #Aardvark and #BOTM. I had a hard time choosing, but since it's my birthday month, I'm getting Ariadne for free. I just finished Camp Damascus and loved it, so I'm really looking forward to Bury Your Gays and I love Moreno-Garcia's books 🤎
What is everyone else choosing?
