City of girls

City of Girls is the new bestseller from Elizabeth Gilbert, who conquered the world with Eat, Pray, Love and The Nature of All Things.

 This is an intriguing novel about female sexuality and freedom, about the courage to be yourself and the right to live the way you want. And also - the story of a very unusual love, overshadowed by the war, and true friendship, which is not easy to find, understand and appreciate, especially in such a difficult and changeable city as New York.

 The novel "City of Girls" begins in 1940, when nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris is expelled from a prestigious college. Parents send their daughter to Manhattan to her aunt, the owner of a small but very eccentric theater. Vivian suddenly finds herself in a real vortex of pre-war bohemian life. Acquaintances with stars, unusual theatrical productions, unrestrained sex, rivers of alcohol and a feeling of complete freedom first fascinate and seduce, and then knock the ground out from under their feet. And this is just the beginning
