Some readers were shocked, but millions more were electrified when they saw themselves reflected in its story of five young employees of a New York publishing company. Sixty-five years later, The Best of Everything remains touchinglyand sometimes hilariouslytrue to the personal and professional struggles women face in the city. Theres Ivy League Caroline, who dreams of graduating from the typing pool to an editors office; nave country girl April, who within months of hitting town reinvents herself as the woman every man wants on his arm; and Gregg, the free-spirited actress with a secret yearning for domesticity.
