Soon to be a major film from the creators of Downton Abbey - the unputdownable story of two young women in 1920s New York.
Laura Moriarty earned a degree in social work before returning for her M.A. in Creative Writing at the University of Kansas. She was the recipient of the George Bennett Fellowship for Creative Writing at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. She lives with her daughter in Lawrence, Kansas.
This is that rare, precious and fabulous thing - a proper story,
with characters you care about desperately and root for right to
the end . . . I can't recommend this novel highly enough. Moving,
shocking, dramatic, clever, atmospheric, glamorous and satisfying.
