ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert follows the story of Vivian Morris, a young woman sent to live with her eccentric aunt in 1940s New York City after failing out of college. She becomes immersed in the vibrant world of theater at the Lily Playhouse, a venue that brings together a colorful cast of showgirls, actors, and dreamers. The novel explores themes of self-discovery, freedom, sexuality, and the complexities of love and relationships. As Vivian navigates her way through love affairs, artistic ambition, and personal growth, the book paints a rich portrait of female empowerment and the pursuit of joy.
