I loved reading about the theater world of 1940s New York. The story and characters of this time were quite interesting. 

The first half of the book had me captivated, but the ending got slow and the books beginning only comes back into play at 85% complete or so. I wish we heard more about Frank, Nathan, and those later moments in life in as much interesting detail as her 20s.
