WOUK'S OUTSTANDING NOVEL WAS THE PUBLISHING PHENOMENON OF 1955, APPEARING ON THE COVER OF TIME MAGAZINE.
In 1930 sixteen-year-old Marjorie Morgenstern lives with her family on the edge of Central Park. She has just come out into New York society. Her mother hopes for a glittering marriage to a good man, but Marjorie has other ideas.
Spending the summer working as a drama coach, she falls desperately in love twice over: with Noel Airman, a musician, as reckless as he is talented; and with a dream of defying her destiny as a Jewish wife and mother and becoming a famous actress. Why should she settle for a life as another Mrs Morgenstern, if she can succeed in the heady world of show business as Marjorie Morningstar?
