“Life is fast and dangerous, and there is no point in denying someone’s pleasure or being anything other than what it is.”
Dear author Elizabeth Gilbert returned to fiction with a unique love story in the New York City theater world of the 1940s. Telling a story from an older woman’s perspective as she looked back at her youth with joy and regret (but most fun), the City of Girls explored themes of female sexuality and intimacy and the privilege of true love.
In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris had just been banished from Vassar College for her first year. His wealthy parents sent him to Manhattan to live with his aunt Peg, who owns a theater in the flamboyant, lively center called Lily Playhouse. There, Vivian was introduced to the entire cosmos by unconventional and charismatic characters, from addictive female characters to sexy men, famous actresses, female killers and unreasonable stage leaders.

But when Vivian made a personal mistake that caused a professional scandal, it changed her new world in a way that took years to fully understand. In the end, however, he leads him to a new understanding of the type of life he wants – and the kind of freedom he needs to continue. It will also lead to love in his life, love that stands out from the rest.
Now ninety-five years old and finally telling her story, Vivian remembers how the events during those years changed her life – and the spirit and autonomy she brought with her. “At one point in a woman’s life, she was bored all the time,” he thought. “Then he is free to be who he is.” City of Girls, written with a strong sense of desire and human connection, is a love story that is second to none..
