Gill Paul is a master of biographical fiction, always finding fascinating women from the past to write about. The Manhattan Girls, about Dorothy Parker and her circle in the glittering 1920s is completely riveting. Dorothy Parker may have been the wittiest person who ever lived, but she was deeply troubled, and only survived thanks to her loyal friends. This has been compared to a 1920s version of Sex and the City. Humour, joy, sorry, friendship - oh yes, and sex, and an un-housetrained dog!
