Description

In 1920, aspiring writer Frankie Pratt receives a typewriter and a scrapbook, but her dreams of college are deferred to care for her mother. A charming captain enters her life, leading her mother to intervene and protect Frankie from his true intentions. Frankie's journey unfolds through a vibrant collage of vintage ephemera, taking her from Vassar to Greenwich Village and eventually to Paris, where she navigates bohemian circles and unexpected encounters. Caroline Preston masterfully weaves together letters, postcards, and advertisements to create a unique scrapbook novel, immersing readers in the dazzling culture of the 1920s and the unforgettable quest of a spirited young woman seeking love and success.
