Ella Queen of Jazz by Helen Hancocks
The inspiring, true story of how a remarkable friendship between Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe was born and how they worked together to overcome prejudice and adversity.
'Hancock’s language sings with the cadence of African- American idioms, and the vivid colourpalette and varied typographical styles help to make each nightclub set look differentThe story, meanwhile, reaches beyond feminist empowerment to illuminate a broader appeal to equality, and the final page emphasises the importance of friendship: a refreshingly achievable ideal.' --Irish Times -- Sara Keating * Irish Times *
