Can’t We Be Friends: A Novel of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe by Denny S. Bryce 

This novel uncovers the boundary-breaking, genuine friendship between Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, and iconic movie star Marilyn Monroe. On the surface, what could they have in common? Yet each fought for professional independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to surrender control to men. This novel reveals and celebrates their surprising bond. 

For all book clubs: Additional print copies are available at the Library. Limited digital copies may be available. Please contact Adult Services to check availability or for further information.
