Never believe that women are the weaker sex! Twenty-year-old Marilyn will never forget the summer of 1960. As if it weren' t enough that during the holidays, a free-thinking Jewish girl is suffocated at home by her strict father, who sent her to university anyway only to find a good husband there. After an embarrassing scandal at the local synagogue, where she kissed the rabbi' s son in front of their entire congregation, marriage seems the only solution. However, the free-spirited beauty definitely does not want to get married, so her parents send her to Philadelphia to live with her great-aunt Ada, a renowned matchmaker, who is supposed to bring her to her senses. The girl, accustomed to the hustle and bustle of New York, initially doesn' t seem like much of a change from the quieter environment or the distinctive behavior of her new guardian, but she gradually discovers that the lively and elegant seventy-year-old is not a dry spinster, but a seasoned woman with a big heart who can teach her a lot and by her side she will experience many adventures.

Behind the wheel sat a woman with platinum blonde hair peeking out from under a light blue Hermes scarf. She had matching driving gloves on her hands, one of which she gripped tightly on the steering wheel, tapping impatiently with her index finger, and the other held a lit cigarette, which she took a drag on at regular intervals. Looking from behind, she could easily be Marilyn Monroe. In the rearview mirror, I saw her adjust her cat-eye sunglasses, creating a fan of fine lines around her brown eyes—and the youthful look faded. - excerpt from the book
