Summary
Anna North: The Life and Death of Sophie Stark
Who is Sophie Stark? Brilliant director, lover, wife, friend, traitor. Sophie is not easy to understand because she unscrupulously uses stories from the lives of close people to create films that bring her critical acclaim and audience delight. From an inconspicuous girl and individual, Sophie suddenly becomes a star, which will cost those who love her dearly, and ultimately herself.
The powerful and provocative novel The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is a story about the power of art to transform - but also destroy - people's lives, as well as about the artist's desire to create something bigger and more important than herself, even if it means sacrificing everything she loves.
