Book Reviews of Summer at Tiffany

Book Review: A better time
Summary: 4 Stars

This book was a wonderful story and it is hard to give a rating to someone's memories. It made me wish I lived during that time. Even though times were hard America worked together. The story was sweet and fun. It looks like Marjorie Hart and her friend Matty had a great summer and memories that lasted them a lifetime. If you want a light fun read this is for you.

Summary of Summer at Tiffany

Do you remember the best summer of your life?

New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor-a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller's-and the envy of all their friends.

Hart takes us back to the magical time when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous; pinched pennies to eat at the Automat; experienced nightlife at La Martinique; and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with Caf? society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us.
