City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert review – hymn to female desire | Fiction | The Guardian

This tale of sexual awakening in 40s New York is sassy, warm and rich in period detail
Her last work of fiction, The Signature of All Things, was a historical novel about an independent young woman pioneering her way in the world of 19th-century botany, but it was also about articulating female desire in an age when well-bred girls did not have the language to do so. Now, in her third full-length novel, City of Girls, she puts that desire quite literally centre stage.
