New York City, 1921.
An impossible dream.
The war is over, the Twenties are roaring, but in the depths of the city that never sleeps, Dorothy Parker is struggling to make her mark in a man’s world.
A broken woman.
She’s penniless, she’s unemployed and her marriage is on the rocks when she starts a bridge group with three extraordinary women – but will they be able to save her from herself?
A fight for survival.
When tragedy strikes, and everything Dorothy holds dear is threatened, it’s up to Peggy, Winifred and Jane to help her confront the truth before it’s too late.
Because the stakes may be life or death.
The Manhattan Girls by Gill Paul is published on 18 August, 2022.
And Gill, who is fascinated by the 1920s, has written The Twenties, then and now for Historia, comparing our own decade with life 100 years ago.
