The talent [sound recording] : a novel / Daniel D'Addario.

D'Addario, Daniel, (author.). Campbell, Cassandra, (narrator.). Hutchinson-Shaw, Mia, (narrator.). Linari, Nancy, (narrator.). Edwards, Janina, (narrator.). Shute, Shakira, (narrator.). Wheeler, Jade, (narrator.).

Summary:

Adria, a dignified and highly regarded grand dame of the movie industry, is intent on cementing her legacy as one of the greatest thespians of all time, even as the younger generation creeps up quickly behind her. Bitty must keep a nervous breakdown, and an increasingly debilitating alcohol addiction, at bay, as she searches for genuine closeness in an unforgiving landscape. Contessa, a former child star, is determined to make the world, and her leading man, take her seriously. Davina attempts to find her footing in superficial Los Angeles, a far cry from her roots as a serious London stage actress. And Jenny, always the underdog to her rival, Adria, sees this awards season as her personal redemption, a chance to atone for past mistakes and make up for missed opportunities. With humor, wit, and an insider's insight, The Talent peels back the layers of women who are in the business of being perceived. And while they work to push their careers forward and maintain the public's goodwill, all five are forced to confront truths about themselves that they would rather ignore.
