The bright lights of the theater district, the glamour and danger of 1950s New York, and the wild scene at the iconic Chelsea Hotel come together in a dazzling new novel about a twenty-year friendship that will irrevocably change two women's lives. The Chelsea Girls deftly pulls back the curtain on the desperate political pressures of McCarthyism, and the siren call of the uninhibited Chelsea Hotel. From the bestselling author of 'The Adress', and 'The Masterpiece'.
