Synopsis

For the hundredth time since they'd made their promise, she wondered if she and Agnes were really going to go through with it, if she was brave and terrible enough... At the top of the Empire State Building on a freezing December night, two women hold their breath. Frances and Agnes are waiting for the man who has wronged them. They plan to seek the ultimate revenge. Set over the course of a single night, One Night, New York is a detective story, a romance, and a coming-of-age tale. It is also a story of old New York, of bohemian Greenwich Village between the wars, of floozies and artists and addicts—lighting up the world while all around them America burned with the Great Depression.

Goodreads review by Bookworm on January 06, 2022

The description of this book was better than the actual story. The setting in 1930’s New York was the best part. It takes place during the depression. Frances, a naive farm girl, leaves her parent’s home to escape famine and her parents. While on the train to New York to live with her brother, she m......more
