CITY OF GIRLS
ELIZABETH GILBERT
In 1940, Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College. Her parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a midtown theater. There Vivian is introduced to a cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress and no-nonsense stage manager. But when she makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves - and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it.
