City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert

Title:   City of Girls

Author:  Elizabeth Gilbert

Review:

While City of Girls may be too "racy" for some, I love this author's writing.  An 89 year old woman reflects back on her life as a young single woman in the big city, her life in the theater, her life becoming a woman who never married in a time where marrying was the "expected" thing to do. She was not the usual good and proper girl. She did not have the usual job. But she learned to fend for herself, to be true to herself and to be a good and kind person, to be happy and to love and be loved.  Quite an accomplishment, I'd say.
