Summer at Tiffany: A Memoir
Ginger says: Who hasn’t had that one perfect summer coloring the memory of what the season should be for the rest of your life? For Marjorie Hart that summer was 1945 in New York City, surrounded by girlfriends, lunches at the Automat, handsome sailors… and Tiffany & Co jewelry. She and her best friend miraculously land coveted jobs at the famous jewelry store, and become the envy of all of their pals, having the summer of their lives. Marjorie and Marty prove that diamonds aren’t really a girl’s best friend, best friends are. Fizzy and friendly.

A memoir acclaimed as “reminiscent of The Best of Everything and Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (BookPage), Summer at Tiffany by Marjorie Hart is the true story of two best friends experiencing the time of their lives in New York City during the summer of 1945. The Cleveland Plain Dealer raves, “Hart writes about that stylish summer with verve, recollecting with a touching purity a magical summer in Manhattan, seen through the eyes of two 21-year-olds, just as the end of World War II approached.”
