Description
The Nowhere City by Alison Lurie is a moving exploration of marriage and identity in 1950s Los Angeles. Newlyweds Paul and Katherine Cattleman arrive in the city, each with their own distinct impression of its sunny, sprawling landscape.
As they navigate their new life together, subtle changes begin to affect them in separate ways. For Paul, the city's vibrant energy is a source of inspiration, while for Katherine, it brings out her insecurities. Under the bright west coast sun, their marriage undergoes a transformation, revealing both humorous and unexpected consequences.
