Critics Review
Candace Bushnell, your time’s up. Drain your cosmo and step aside. You’ve been usurped by yet another single-woman arbiter: Marjorie Hillis, the author of Live Alone and Like It - Saturday Post (Canada)
Richly deserves to be this year’s Christmas best-seller … a perfect bedside companion for the post-Bridget Jones generation, who see no reason to put their lives on hold until Mr Right appears - The Daily Telegraph (Canada)Marjorie Hillis
Marjorie Hillis (1889-1971) worked for Vogue for over twenty years, where she became assistant editor. She was one of a growing number of independent, professional women who lived alone by choice. In 1936, she wrote Live Alone and Like It, the superlative guide for ‘bachelor ladies’ (who became known as ‘live-aloners’). It was an instant bestseller, and became one of of the most well-known books of the decade. This was followed by another bestselling non-fiction book, Orchids on Your Budget (1937).
