The Life and Death of Sophie Stark
Anna North
Weidenfeld & Nicolson
<p>Who is the real Sophie Stark?<br><i></i><br><i>The Life and Death of Sophie Stark</i>&nbsp;is the story of an enigmatic film director, told by the six people who loved her most. Brilliant, infuriating, all-seeing and unknowable, Sophie Stark makes films said to be 'more like life than life itself'. But her genius comes at a terrible cost: to her husband, to the brother she left behind, and to an actress who knows too much.</p><p>With shades of&nbsp;<i>We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves</i>,&nbsp;<i>A Visit from the Goon Squad</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Where'd You Go, Bernadette</i>, it combines a uniquely appealing sensibility with a compulsively page-turning plot.</p>
