Marjorie Morningstar

Marjorie Morgenstern is nineteen years old when she leaves New York to accept the job of her dreams-working in a summer-stock company for Noel Airman, its talented and intensely charismatic director. Released from the social constraints of her traditional Jewish family, and thrown into the glorious world of theater, Marjorie finds herself entangled in a destructive affair with the man destined to become the greatest-and most destructive-love of her life. Rich with humor and poignancy, this classic love story spans two continents and two decades in the life of its heroine.
