'I've always said dying nameless is the greatest failure of all,' Jessie Johnson wants one thing: fame. It's 1934. Eager for stardom, Jessie sees her chance in the Dance Marathons which are sweeping the nation; the 24-hour dance competitions which have made the careers of young jazz singers just like Jessie. Obsessively tuning into the daily radio broadcasts from the Marathon floor, Jessie fanatically follows the lives of the contestants. But she never believes she could be part of this world. And with everyone on the circuit as hungry as she is, Jessie soon learns how cutthroat she must be to become a star. Adore Me is a story of ambition, betrayal and one girl's desperation for fame.T769520295Performer Sophie Atherton. | |
