Description
Sunnyside by Glen David Gold is a richly imagined historical novel set during the early years of Hollywood and the First World War, with Charlie Chaplin at its centre.

Blending historical events with imaginative storytelling, the novel explores the glamour and darker realities of early Hollywood while capturing the extraordinary world surrounding one of cinema’s most recognisable figures.
