The Manhattan Girls: A Novel of Dorothy Parker and Her Friends by Gill Paul

5.0

I did not expect to love this book as much as I did!! Set in 1920s Manhattan, we get to know four friends as they navigate life and love in the city during the time of prohibition and increasing levels of women's freedoms. Very much a Sex in the city vibe, I loved each of the characters and really enjoyed reading about the origins of the New Yorker magazine. The author doesn't shy away from tough topics either, covering suicide attempts, depression, alcoholism, abortion, rape and more! Highly recommended for fans of Fiona Barton and great on audio.
