In this episode, Alex workshops Elizabeth's Gilbert latest book - City of Girls - with her wonderful friend and author, Mandy Newman. This book is set in the theatre world of Manhattan in the 1940's - a world which retired thespians Alex and Mandy would have loved to be a part of!! It's a colourful tale of beautiful, promiscuous girls having a rollicking time but it's more than just joyous escapism. It's about female desire and empowerment, the mistakes we make when we are young and developing the resilience to be able survive them. City of Girls is a magnificent read that won't disappoint. Alex and Mandy both thoroughly enjoyed it. They loved the story, the history and Elizabeth Gilbert's masterful relationships. It comes with a highly recommend!
