City of Girls: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Elizabeth Girlbert, bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, returns with a sassy new novel! 'City of Girls' is about daring to break conventions and follow your desires: a celebration of glamour, resilience, growing up, and the joys of female friendship – and about the freedom that comes from finding a place you truly belong. New York, 1940. Young, glamorous and inseparable, Vivian and Celia are chasing trouble from one end of the city to the other. But there is risk in all this play – that's what makes it so fun, and so dangerous. Sometimes, the world may feel like it's ending, but for Vivian and Celia, life is just beginning. “A glamorous, sexy, compelling romp of a novel about showgirls in New York in the 1940s. It is an addictive story, with vivid, brazenly drawn female characters, that brims with fascinating historical details of the time … Radical and refreshing to read” – Dolly Alderton, Sunday Times “Breezily funny and vividly written, City Of Girls is a quietly radical celebration of feminine sexual inhibition that slips down as easily as a gin martini. Expect to see it on multiple beaches this summer” – Claire Allfree, Metro “A glorious, multi-layered, emotionally astute celebration of womanhood … An eloquently persuasive treatise on the judgment and punishment of women, and a heartfelt call to reclaim female sexual agency” – Sam Baker, Guardian Out now.
