City of Girls

My Gilbert-pilling continues! I picked this up after enjoying her nonfiction, and I had mistakenly thought it was about factory girls or something? Which isn't UN-interesting to me, but I was so delighted when I realized that it's actually a book about a THEATER, which is much more interesting to me personally! Anyway I just loved all the historical details and the characters. It reminded me of her nonfiction in that she's not afraid to write really messy, complicated (mostly women) characters.
