Spanning 336 pages, this nostalgic journey blends historical insight with personal stories of friendship, ambition, and post-war social life, capturing the iconic glamour and spirit of a transformative era. ## Description New York City, 1945. Marjorie Jacobson and her best friend, Marty Garrett, arrive fresh from the Kappa house at the University of Iowa hoping to find summer positions as shopgirls. Turned away from the top department stores, they miraculously find jobs as pages at Tiffany & Co., becoming the first women to ever work on the sales floor, a diamond-filled day job replete with Tiffany-blue shirtwaist dresses from Bonwit Teller'sβ€”and the envy of all their friends. Looking back on that magical time in her life, Marjorie takes us back to when she and Marty rubbed elbows with the rich and famous, pinched pennies to eat at the Automat, experienced nightlife at La Martinique, and danced away their weekends with dashing midshipmen. Between being dazzled by Judy Garland's honeymoon visit to Tiffany, celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, and mingling with CafΓ‰ society, she fell in love, learned unforgettable lessons, made important decisions that would change her future, and created the remarkable memories she now shares with all of us. Review: Fun! - This book was so much fun to read, I loved it in nostalgia and the fact that it’s a true story. I love everything Tiffany and Tiffany blue so this book was a fantastic read. Review: Whimsical and Lighthearted - Set in WWII-era NYC, Marjorie Hart gives you an insight to her summer spent working as one of the first female pages at Tiffany (my personal haven). I am automatically drawn to the 1940s style and grace of the ladies, and the chivalry of the men, but this book helps you relive that period. Although this story lacks any real conflict, except wondering why a boy fails to call, I thoroughly enjoyed it because everyday life is already so hectic, it was nice to gain insight on another person's simple, fairly carefree life. If you are looking for something mentally challenging, this is not the book for you. I still recommend it though, because I think some people need to stop thinking so much and just remember what it's like to be happy. Most people tend to be jaded and unhappy for one reason or another, when really life is not that difficult. I think that was even more intellectual than what the book intended. But seriously, a great read for your lunch break at work, to get away for awhile, and just smile! Only gripe: the sole romantic story line in the book does not seem to have a point. It is a memoir, though. I guess you can't change real life into something more than what it is. ## Features - Author: Hart, Marjorie. - Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks - Pages: 336 - Publication Date: 2010-03-30 - Edition: Illustrated - Binding: Paperback - MSRP: 13.99 - ISBN13: 9780061189531 - ISBN: 0061189537 - Other ISBN: 9780061754982 - Other ISBN Binding: print - Language: en ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #986,958 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #762 in Women in History #1,553 in Political Leader Biographies #2,035 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,210 Reviews | ## Images ![Summer at Tiffany: A Glimpse into 1940s New York City Jewelry Through the Eyes of Trailblazing Women - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810iSgrF+kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun! *by J***T on March 14, 2026* This book was so much fun to read, I loved it in nostalgia and the fact that it’s a true story. I love everything Tiffany and Tiffany blue so this book was a fantastic read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Whimsical and Lighthearted *by R***I on December 16, 2010* Set in WWII-era NYC, Marjorie Hart gives you an insight to her summer spent working as one of the first female pages at Tiffany (my personal haven).

I love the things that get left out of her letters home. It could be fiction as easily as biography. She's a really nice writer. You get a sense of life in a tight-knit Iowa town. I would really like to see more from Ms Hart about life in that area, that era. It's all so different from what kids are living today and at that same time some of the problems are the same. And so rich in history. I'm really not expressing myself well. I will recommend it for my 18 year old daughter who will be off to college in the fall, and to my sister who is a writer and critical of anything sloppily written (she won't have complaints about this one) and to my dad, who lived all of this from a different prospective, having grown up in Washington DC and having spent the war years in Hawaii and the Pacific. Even if I didn't write the review well, Ms Hart wrote the book beautifully. I started it last night, and didn't get anything else done until I finished it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1563863-summer-at-tiffany-a-glimpse-into-1940s-new-york-city](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1563863-summer-at-tiffany-a-glimpse-into-1940s-new-york-city) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
