City of Girls is Elizabeth Gilbert's 2020 novel set in 1940s New York City, following the journey of Vivian Morris, a young woman who arrives in Manhattan during the golden age of Broadway theater. Expelled from her college, Vivian finds herself working backstage at a small theater, where she becomes entangled in the lives of performers, stagehands, and the vibrant theatrical world around her.
The narrative unfolds through Vivian's retrospective voice, as an older woman reflecting on her formative years in the city. Gilbert weaves together themes of friendship, reinvention, and the search for purpose against the backdrop of wartime America. The novel captures both the glamour and the grit of theatrical life, exploring how unexpected circumstances can reshape a person's direction.
This work represents Gilbert's shift into historical fiction, drawing on meticulous research about 1940s New York and the theater industry of that era. The book examines what it means to find your place in the world when your original path has closed, and how community and creativity can sustain us through uncertain times.
