AlbakiReads Editorial

A summer behind Tiffany’s counters

Marjorie Hart’s memoir looks back on New York City in 1945, where she and her friend Marty Garrett take jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co. The workplace offers a vantage point on the city’s social contrasts: days among luxury goods sit alongside penny-conscious meals at the Automat and nights out at La Martinique. The episodes also place the friends amid wartime’s close, including the Times Square celebration of VJ Day, and encounters with figures such as Judy Garland. Together, these details frame a personal account of friendship and summer work against the backdrop of postwar New York.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in personal memoirs set in New York City during 1945.
  • Readers curious about Tiffany & Co.’s early women sales-floor employees.
  • Readers who enjoy accounts of friendship, summer work, and city life.

Book overview

"Hart has a genuine gift for conveying the texture of midcentury Manhattan.... [She makes] the dilemmas of her own young life both compelling and contemporary."

 

--USA Today

 

 

"[A] glorious once upon a time fairytale come true....I loved every moment!"
--Adriana Trigiani, author of Very Valentine

 

 

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."
