summary
(from Amazon)
In the marketplace of a small Ukrainian
village, two beauties dance. They dance because poverty gives them no
choice; dancing is the only way they can supplement their parents'
pitiful wages.
Dancing draws attention when you're beautiful; not all of it is welcome. Drawn into a web of deceit, rape, and tyranny, the girls flee the Ukraine, seeking a new life in 1904 London.
Fleeing the country of their birth, they board a ship bound for England. They encounter trouble on board, from an overzealous doctor.
Arriving in a strange new land and unable to speak the language, the young women find a much-needed friend in a Russian tea shop owner, who finds them work in his restaurant’s kitchen. Even so, they find themselves, once again, dancing in the streets to help pay the rent at their Soho boardinghouse.
Once again their dancing attracts attention, this time from a well-known impresario who sees talent and possibility in the two friends. Meeting him sets the girls on two very different paths. One rises to a position of power in affairs of state, while the other forges a successful show business career.
Tragedy and adversity dog both friends' careers, intermingled with triumphs and love. Perhaps, one day, two poor Ukrainian dancers will find the happiness they deserve.

review
1940 London
This book is a novel about two young ladies. They run from the Ukraine to London. Their new homeland was a struggle at first. It was hard to learn the language and work toward success. At last one finds a business job and the other an acting job. As they find love, they go their separate ways and have separate lives. After a while they get back together and work at re-establishing their closeness. To make money they both danced on the streets of the Ukraine to make money.
The author wrote a story of three generations who were very close, not only by love, but by bloodline. Mr. Silverstone told a wonderful story of coming out of poverty to arise to success. It wasn't easy by far, doors opened and closed in their faces.
The story has a mixture of erotic scenes, some violence and tyranny.
A lot of what the author wrote was drawn from his own family's life and the fictional characters on stage and in business. As you read the book, you may wonder if parts of it are from Alicia's growing up and her experiences. A wonderful book about rags to riches and the trials and tribulations to go from poor to rich. Some readers may relate to the book through their ancestry. Wonderful described characters and scenery. Lovely Cover.
I was given a complimentary copy of FOREVER LASTS TILL DAWN from the author, Monty Silverstone for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 4 STARS.
