The Manhattan Girls: A Novel of Dorothy Parker and Her Friends
NEW YORK CITY 1921: The war is over, fashions are daring, and bootleg liquor is abundant. Here four extraordinary women form a bridge group that grows into a firm friendship.
Dorothy Parker: renowned wit, member of the Algonquin Round Table, and more fragile than she seems. Jane Grant: first female reporter for the New York Times, and determined to launch a new magazine she calls The New Yorker. Winifred Lenihan: beautiful and talented Broadway actress, a casting-couch target. And Peggy Leech: magazine assistant by day, brilliant novelist by night.
A novel about friendship, ambition and struggling through the hard times! Everyone can relate.. Set in the Jazz Age New York and into the inner lives of these groundbreaking, influential women.
“Take me or leave me; or, as is the usual order of things, both.”
“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”
