From the 1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and The Signature of All Things, a delicious novel of glamour, sex, and adventure, about a young woman discovering that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person.
Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret but mostly pleasure , City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In , nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse.
There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager.
But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. 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. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest. Now eighty-nine years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life - and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it.

By combining a sociohistorical examination of the stories with close scrutiny of the language in which they are told, Bottigheimer reveals coherent patterns of motif, plot, and image and brings new insight into the moral and social vision of the collection.

Three women whose partners have been taken from them by Ireland's "Troubles" try to deal with day-to-day existence. A fourth young woman comes into their lives, making them question coping mechanisms. I read this play in grad school. Liked it, but didn't love it. Now I really like, am this-close to loving it.
The emotional lives of the women make more sense to me now, as does the political situation in Ireland. The author explores the ways in which we deceive ourselves and each other, how we disc Three women whose partners have been taken from them by Ireland's "Troubles" try to deal with day-to-day existence.
The author explores the ways in which we deceive ourselves and each other, how we disconnect with those closest to us just to survive. The hope of understanding and connection at the end may be too twee for some, but I found it touching and realistic.
Although it takes a little while to properly get into I dont think it really held my attention until about halfway through , it makes for an interesting read. I found the monologues to be especially well written and really enjoyed reading them and found Marie to be particularly interesting. The ending is quite unexpected and definitley worth sticking around for.
Maybe not one of my favourite plays, but worth looking out for in the library nonetheless. Mar 03, Erin Cleary rated it really liked it Shelves: plays , read-in This play took me by surprise. The synopsis was super interesting and I loved the idea of an entire female cast.
All of the characters had different unique voices and as the secrets got revealed, the stakes got higher and higher. I think this play lacks action, and since the cast is so small, a lot of attention must be paid to characterization and the relationships between the characters.
Jul 13, Blair rated it liked it. An excellent portratal of the lives of three women and their community during the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland.
Great characterisation with a deep reflection on society at the time.
