Moving from Brooklyn's beauty parlors to London's West End, Lucky Us introduces readers to Eva and Iris.  Disappointed by their families, Iris, the hopeful star, and Eva, the sidekick, journey across 1940s America in search of fame and fortune . . . 

Brilliantly written, deeply moving, and fantastically funny, Lucky Us is a resonant novel about success and failure, good luck and bad as it unveils a tale of our fragile, absurd, heroic species told through a group of flawed characters who love, lie, cheat, and struggle to survive. 

“Lucky Us is a sister act, which means a double dose of sauce and naughtiness from the brilliant Amy Bloom, whose crisp, delicious prose gives readers the feel of sprawling, brawling life itself.” -- The Oregonian
