      Durante l'epoca d'oro del vaudeville, Martha Rosedale gira l'America con suo padre, che è un ventriloquo e presta la voce a Iris, una bellissima bambola di legno grande come una bambina vera. Purtroppo per Martha, però, Iris, occupa nel cuore del signor Rosedale un posto ben più grande del suo, e la ragazzina ne è terribilmente gelosa: una gelosia di cui tutti si accorgono, a cominciare da Mamma Rosie, affittacamere dal cuore d'oro, e da Stashu, giovanissimo acrobata polacco. Solo il signor Rosedale sembra del tutto insensibile al bisogno d'amore della figlia, e a poco a poco la situazione precipita... Un romanzo originalissimo, ispirato a una storia vera e ambientato negli anni '20, che ci lascia intravedere le ombre nascoste dietro i lustrini e le piume del varietà.
