Gwen Farrar and Norah Blaney were drawn together by mutual desire and astonishing talent and versatility. They became England's first great female musical comedy double act, singing the popular love songs of the 1920s to each other onstage and making dozens of recordings. Despite the mores of the time, they barely disguised the secret of their romantic partnership. In this vivid, illustrated biography, their lives are documented in full for the first time. Described by Dr Jane Traies as 'an important missing piece in the jigsaw of lesbian history', this enthralling book also contributes to the history of the theatre. 'A story of showbiz chemistry... Amazing women!' Peter Bradshaw, film critic
