A grand adventure. Bainbridge B.

The main canvas of this novel is deceptively simple-young Stella, brought up by relatives, not without the influence of an eccentric uncle-theater, goes to work in the theater and falls in love with the director. However, this unpretentious story is only an opportunity for the author to show the contradictory world of theatrical backstage in the milestones. The world in which, as if, as if on the island of Peter Pan (a fairy tale about which, in fact, gave the novel a name), “missing boys” live, stubbornly not wanting to grow up and perceive life as an exciting game. The world in which, as in a good play, is a lot of unprofitable and secret and everything is not what it seems. The hearts are breaking here, small and funny intrigues are adjacent to large and real human tragedies, and the plot, as if invented by an invisible playwright, inexorably moves towards the finale.
