  Do you remember the best summer of your life? 
  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's—and the envy of all their friends. 
  Hart takes us back to the magical time 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 Café 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.

  A deep dive into the culinary, literary, and underwater lives of that most noble and inscrutable bivalve, the oyster. 
  In Consider the Oyster, M.F.K. Fisher explores the many lives of the mysterious oyster—from its strange cloistered existence in the watery depths to the many roles it has played in our culinary history as table fare both humble and refined. In this canonical study of one of the ocean’s most intriguing inhabitants, Fisher combines folklore, family history, memoir, and recipes to evoke a picture of a most compelling creature. Whether describing her own introduction to the “strange cold succulence” of an oyster as a young woman in Marseille and Dijon, or her mother’s delight at encountering oyster loaf in a girls’ dorm in the 1890s, M.F.K. Fisher’s wise, witty prose piques the appetite and rouses the senses to consider the hidden possibilities of this most beguiling mollusk.
