Wednesday, July 17, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Page by Paige: Summer reads EDCO to host PubTalk in Sisters By Paige Bentley-Flannery Columnist <Montauk,= by Nicola Harrison In the summer of 1939, where do wealthy people go to escape New York City for three months? Beatrice Bordeaux9s withdrawn banker husband, Harry, takes her to Montauk Manor, an elegant hotel in a quiet fish- ing village. But instead of being swept up by the glam- our and socializing with the privileged wives, Beatrice finds herself connecting with the locals, writing a column under a pen name for a New York City newspaper and falling in love all over again. Harrison9s debut histori- cal novel introduces read- ers to one woman9s summer of self-discovery amidst pre-war Manhattan soci- ety. A wonderful read filled with surprises, charm and deception. <City of Girls,= by Elizabeth Gilbert When Vivian Morris drops out of Vassar at the age of 19, she9s sent to live with her eccentric aunt Peg, who owns a theater com- pany in midtown Manhattan. Surrounded by actors, danc- ers and showgirls, Vivian finds her place among them. She9s going out every night with new friends and embraces the 1940s city lights 4 the smells, the energy, the passions. A new play is announced and Aunt Peg9s struggling theater pulses with energy trying to survive. While Vivian helps her aunt by sewing costumes during the day, her wild nights and self-discovery turn into scandal. Will she survive her time in the city and discover who she truly is? Gilbert9s goal <was to write a novel that goes down like a champagne cock- tail 3 light and bright, crisp and fun.= She9s achieved that goal and more! A glori- ous summer read filled with love.
