About This Novel
In 1940, at the beginning of World War II, 19-year-old wealthy girl Vivian dropped out of Vassar College and went to her aunt Peg, who ran the Lilly Theater in New York. In this gorgeous but crumbling old-fashioned theater, Vivian discovers her talent for designing costumes and meets a group of women who have influenced her life: Celia, a dancer who is indulgent and dreams of conquering the world with her beauty; Olive, who is serious and mediocre from head to toe, but is the beloved lover of her maverick aunt; Edna, a British actress who regards drama as life and the godmother of style who is not beautiful at all; Marjorie, a weird girl in a second-hand clothing store who looks ridiculous but has great ideas about life. Through them, Vivian experienced a liberation from body to mind, and fully experienced the charm and freedom she understood in New York. Until an unexpected sex scandal happened, Vivian fled New York in a hurry and began her journey towards maturity... 70 Years later, 89-year-old Vivian wrote a long letter to a feminist named Angela about her life experience: New York in her eyes, the dazzling days and nights in this "their city", her love for sewing and clothing, Her shame and pain, the love and freedom she realized... Throughout her life, she never became the "lady" that that era expected her to be, but there was a real Vivian Morris in the world, and she spent her life following the fire in her heart.

Many first times can always make people very excited and full of expectations. Gilbert was also full of expectations when he went to New York for the first time, but Angela became bored after staying for a long time.
It's actually quite normal for girls to form gangs, but I didn't expect it to happen at Vassar College. Gilbert wasn't curious about them at all. It's a girl's nature to gossip.
Some people just don't like studying very much, and that's the case with Gilbert. Because of this, she failed in any subject during her year at Vassar College, so she still has to pay attention to her studies.
