Book Review…The Manhattan Girls: A Novel of Dorothy Parker and Her Friends by Gill Paul
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.
Their romances flourish and falter while their goals sometimes seem impossible to reach and their friendship deepens against the backdrop of turbulent New York City, where new speakeasies open and close, jazz music flows through the air, and bathtub gin fills their glasses.
They gossip, they comfort each other, and they offer support through the setbacks. But their biggest challenge is keeping their dear friend Dottie safe from herself.
The Manhattan Girls is a great novel about Dorothy and her three friends' lives and their ups and downs. They are amazing women to follow! Their friendship is what stands out the most for me! The way they support each other regardless of what's going on, it's what friendship truly is! It's a little slow paced but it fits perfectly for the story and the genre. If you've read any of Gill Paul's books before then you know the writing is wonderful! I would love to read another book about these women! A fabulous read! Thank you Random Things Tours for sharing this fantastic book with me!
