The story begins in 1904, when young Ellen O'Brien leaves her small town in Ireland to seek her fortune in New York City. She quickly falls in with a glamorous crowd of artists, writers, and musicians, but her dreams are soon shattered by the outbreak of World War I.

In the years that follow, Ellen's life takes her from the glittering ballrooms of Manhattan to the battlefields of France and the poverty-stricken streets of the Great Depression. Along the way, she encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, including a brilliant but troubled writer, a charismatic jazz musician, and a wealthy socialite who becomes her lifelong friend.

Manhattan Transfer is a deeply moving and richly detailed portrait of a bygone era. Monroe's writing is lyrical and evocative, and her characters are so vividly drawn that they will stay with you long after you finish the book.
