City of Girls

Elizabeth Gilbert, 2019

Elizabeth Gilbert loves New York City.  Her exuberant best-seller celebrates the crazy life style of Broadway during World War II.  When 19-year-old Vivian Morris gets expelled from Vassar, her parents send her to live in New York with her father’s sister—Aunt Peg.  Peg owns a run-down theater in Hell’s Kitchen and Vivian loves the action.  She rooms with a show girl and goes out every night, having the time of her life.  Aunt Peg hires Vivian to create some costumes but soon the naïve youngster causes a scandal.  Gilbert’s book is just plain fun.
