@elizabeth_gilbert_writer’s The Signature of All Things is one of my absolute favourite novels, and her inspirational Big Magic is my go-to pick me up on tough writing days so I was absolutely thrilled and extremely grateful to receive an early copy of her new novel #CityofGirls (many thanks, @bloomsburypublishing 😘) Set in the New York theatre world of the 1940s, it’s an absolute romp of a story filled with a glittering cast of strong female characters, and like the show from which it takes its name it has the feel of a stage spectacular that sets out to thrill and dazzle at every turn. It’s been a long time since I was so thoroughly ~delighted~ by a book and it’s a lovely reminder of just how pleasurable a cracking story can be. Highly, highly recommend 💕
