Description
Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York City in the summer of 1940 with nothing but a sewing machine and a heretofore unindulged taste for adventure. Finding employment as seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, a charmingly down-at-heel Manhattan revue, Vivian quickly becomes the toast of the showgirls, transforming the tat only fit for the cheap seats into creations for goddesses. Adventure and opportunity blossom on every corner of this strange wartime city of girls, and Vivian and her girlfriends mean to down New York to its last drop. But there are hard lessons to be learned, and bitterly regrettable mistakes to be made. Vivian learns that to live the life she wants, she must live many lives, ceaselessly and ingeniously making them new.
Description
"En el verano de 1940 Vivian Morris llega a Manhattan con 19 años y tan solo una maleta y una máquina de coser, empujada por sus desesperados padres. Aunque su especial talento con la aguja y su dedicación a lograr el peinado perfecto no le han servido de gran cosa en la prestigiosa universidad de Vassar, la convertirán en la modista estrella del Lily Playhouse, el decadente teatro de variedades de su poco convencional tía Peg. Los días en Nueva York son de todo menos aburridos a pesar de la guerra. En esta ciudad de mujeres Vivian y sus amigas buscan ser libres y beberse la vida hasta la última gota. Pero Vivian también descubrirá que le que quedan lecciones que aprender y amargos errores que cometer, y que para vivir la vida que de verdad desea tendrá que reinventarse a cada paso"--Back cover.
