Sundays at Simone's

0/5 ( ratings)

A wealthy Los Angeles socialite with a sordid past creates a modern day version of the 19th Century French salon, where the elite among the aristocracy gather to hear the latest music and poetry and flaunt their trappings of grandeur. Asked to perform, a penniless pianist becomes addicted to these afternoon affairs, which change his life when he discovers more is expected of him than his talent in music. A tale of love, ambition, and betrayal, Sundays at Simone's looks at the pretensions of Los Angeles aristocracy with a satirical eye, as it chronicles a young musician's search for true love and a venue for his talent. An odd parade of colorful characters accompanies him on his bizarre journey from a childhood with a Bohemian aunt, to his career as a hack accompanist for would be opera singing waiters at a run down Italian restaurant, to the castles of Beverly Hills, to the movie studios of Hollywood, as the glamorous Simone pulls the strings of her human puppets.

Language: English

Pages: 258
