Marjorie Morgenstern is nineteen years old when she is offered 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 old-fashioned New York Jewish family, and thrown into the glorious, colorful world of theatrical invention, Marjorie finds herself entangled in a powerful affair with the man destined to become the greatest - and the most destructive - love of her life.

Praise for this book

"To me, it's a unicorn of a book--a so-called women's novel, written by a man, that takes its heroine very seriously...A serious book that finds a big, sprawling story in what seems like a small, narrow life."--Laura Lippman, author of The Lady in the Lake

"A proto-feminist classic."--Boris Kachka, Vulture

"Herman Wouk's most solid achievement...a major novel."--Saturday Review

"Definitely in the tradition of the great novel -- spacious, abundantly peopled, shrewd, observant, humane."--New York Herald Tribune

"Its locale is Central Park West, Hunger College, and West End Avenue; its characters almost all Jewish; its appeal universal."--Sidney Field, Sunday Mirror

"Very good reading indeed."--Maxwell Geismar, New York Times
