Hope someone will recognise this story and know the book, unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the book or the author! I read it a lot of years ago and keep thinking of it, and would like to reread it. Now from what I can remember:

it is the story of 2 young girls (friends) and their lives, they are part of a travelling theatre group, I think it starts with them in the early part of last century, a fire starts in a theatre and one of them traps the other in there somehow, she does survive but is burned in the face, she goes on to have a singing career, the other girl goes off to be a Hollywood actress and the story is of their lives over the years and they eventually meet again.

This is all the vague memories I have, does anyone know this book at all?

Thanks

Not the exact book, but parts of the plot sound similar... Church of Marvels by Leslie Parry. I’ve just finished it and thought it was great.
