"City of Girls" is the new bestselling novel by Elizabeth Gilbert, who conquered the world with her novels "Eat, Pray, Love" and "The Nature of All Things.

This is an intriguing novel about female sexuality and freedom, about the courage to be yourself and the right to live the way you want. It is also a story of a very unusual love, which was shadowed by the war, and a true friendship that is not easy to find, understand and appreciate, especially in a city as complex and volatile as New York. The novel "City of Girls" begins in 1940, when nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris is expelled from a prestigious college. Her parents send their daughter to Manhattan to live with her aunt, the owner of a small but very eccentric theatre. Unexpectedly for herself, Vivian finds herself in a real whirlpool of pre-war bohemian life. Meetings with celebrities, unusual theatre performances, unrestrained sex, rivers of alcohol and a sense of complete freedom first fascinate and seduce her, and then knock the ground out from under her feet. And this is just the beginning of Vivian's lifelong journey to realise that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person.
