A young woman in 1920's Greenwich Village.

A young Jewish woman leaves her New Jersey home in search of love and adventure in 1920's Greenwich Village. She meets a lot of interesting people, has love affairs and forms lasting friendships. She also catches pnemonia(which seems to be a great way to relax and make new friends back then). She also attends a political rally in Union Square which is vividly told. This is Joan Silber's second novel, and like Household Words, it is out of print. This is unfortunate. I see Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie version.
