Summary
Caught up in the fast life of 1930s New York City, Gloria Wandrous becomes tragically involved with a married man.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A bestseller upon its publication in 1935, BUtterfield 8 was inspired by a news account of the discovery of the body of a beautiful young woman washed up on a Long Island beach. Was it an accident, a murder, a suicide? The circumstances of her death were never resolved, but OâHara seized upon the tragedy to imagine the womanâs down-and-out life in New York City in the early 1930s.
âOâHara understood better than any other American writer how class can both reveal and shape character,â Fran Lebowitz writes in her Introduction. With brash honesty and a flair for the unconventional, BUtterfield 8 lays bare the unspoken and often shocking truths that lurked beneath the surface of a society still reeling from the effects of the Great Depression. The result is a masterpiece of American fiction.
