From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and The Signature of All Things, a delicious novel of glamour, sex, and adventure, about a young woman discovering that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person. \"A spellbinding novel about love, freedom, and finding your own happiness.\" - PopSugar \"Intimate and richly sensual, razzle-dazzle with a hint of danger.\" -USA Today \"Pairs well with a cocktail...or two.\" -TheSkimm \"Life is both fleeting and dangerous, and there is no point in denying yourself pleasure, or being anything other than what you are.\" Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance. Her affluent parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a flamboyant, crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. There Vivian is introduced to an entire cosmos of unconventional and charismatiFormat C (Large Format). characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress, a lady-killer writer, and no-nonsense stage manager. But when Vivian makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down in ways that it will take her years to fully understand. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves - and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it. It will also lead to the love of her life, a love that stands out from all the rest. Now eighty-nine years old and telling her story at last, Vivian recalls how the events of those years altered the course of her life - and the gusto and autonomy with which she approached it. \"At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time,\" she muses. \"After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is.\" Written with a powerful wisdom about human desire and connection, City of Girls is a love story like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn from a dream during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, \u003cstrong\u003eReadMatter\u003c\/strong\u003e ReadMatter has blossomed into one of South Africa’s premier online used bookstores.

Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both survivors of difficult divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the U.S. government, who - after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing - gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving completely into this topic, trying with all her might to discover (through historical research, interviews and much personal reflection) what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. The result isCommitted - a witty and intelligent contemplation of marriage that debunks myths, unthreads fears and suggests that sometimes even the most romantic of souls must trade in her amorous fantasies for the humbling responsibility of adulthood. Gilbert's memoir - destined to become a cherished handbook for any thinking person hovering on the verge of marriage - is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love, with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilbert, Elizabeth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43221459894349,"sku":"CONF20260708076","price":79.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/3856\/4685\/files\/9781408805763_20260630_113438.jpg?v=1783536441"},{"product_id":"buy-the-signature-of-all-things-elizabeth-gilbert-9781408841907","title":"The Signature of All Things (Elizabeth Gilbert)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eThe Signature of All Things\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Elizabeth Gilbert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003csmall\u003eGenres: Painters; Women botanists; Enlightenment; FICTION \/ Literary; Industrial revolution\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished date: 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781408841907\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodReads Rating: 3.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Format C (Large Format 138x216\/156x234 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook Type: Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSummary\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker—a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming theichest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry's brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father's money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma's research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction — into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist — but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life.Exquisitely researched and told at a galloping pace, The Signature of All Things soars across the globe—from London to Peru to Philadelphia to Tahiti to Amsterdam, and beyond. Along the way, the story is peopled with unforgettable missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it istory of Alma Whittaker, who — born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution — bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas. Written in the bold, questing spirit of that singular time, Gilbert's wise, deep, and spellbinding tale is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers.
