More about the book
Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College in 1940, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant theater. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconverntional and charismatic characters. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it will lead 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. Now eighty-nine and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life
