FALL BOOK CLUB – OCTOBER 10
We will meet October 10th at 5:30PM at Harper’s Garden to discuss our next book – City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert.
In 1940, 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.
Now ninety-five years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life.
Please RSVP below by October 6th so we can make a reservation for the group.
