Strangers in the Night

Listed in the Film category on Art In Fiction, Strangers in the Night (2023) by Heather Webb is the story the tumultuous romance that scandalized the world. In the golden age of Hollywood, two of the brightest stars would define—and defy—an era… She was the small-town southern beauty transformed into a Hollywood love goddess. He was the legendary crooner whose voice transfixed the world. They were Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. Separately they were irresistible; together they were an explosive combination. Ava’s star is rising just as Frank’s career—and public image as a family man—is taking a hit. Gone are the days of the screaming bobby-soxers and chart-topping hits. Ava, however, finds herself gracing the front page of every tabloid in America. Jealousy and cheating abound, and when the two succumb to their temperaments and their vices, their happiness is threatened at every turn. As the pair ride the rollercoaster of success and failure, passion and anger, they both wonder if the next turn will be the end of their careers, and most devastating of all—the end of all they’ve shared. "Author Webb grabs hold of the reader and does not let go. Told in intimate first-person chapters from both Ava’s and Frank’s viewpoints, their many spats, breakups, and reunions feel honest yet not overdone... Altogether, a rousing and well-done, probably mostly true, romantic novel." — Historical Novels Review  Heather Webb is the award-winning and  USA TODAY bestselling author of several historical novels, including The Next Ship Home, Queens of London , and Strangers in the Night .
