![]() ![]() Katey’s pursuits of career, social advancement, and love make for interesting reading. ![]() Katey steps aside and moves on with her life. Eve is injured and Tinker must take care of her. And then a horrible accident, for which Tinker feels responsible, settles things. It seems as though Eve, the aggressor, has the edge, but at the same time, one gets the sense that Tinker and Katey make a better match. The girls compete for Tinker’s attention, although not overtly. Life gets interesting on New Year’s Eve when Katey and Eve spend the evening in a jazz bar and meet a handsome, wealthy young man named Tinker Grey. The first steps include a job in a typing pool at a law firm and a gorgeous boardinghouse roommate, Eve, who shares her taste for adventure, booze, and social climbing. Fiercely intelligent and independent, she puts her Russian immigrant past behind her and begins to climb the social and economic ladders. The bulk of the novel is narrated by Katey Kontent, a twenty-five-year-old working-class woman who is determined to make her way in the big city. ![]()
