What is Downtown about?

Having traveled outside the South in her recent novels, Anne Rivers Siddons returns to her hometown and the setting of "Peachtree Road," the 1988 fictional saga of Atlanta that launched her onto national bestseller lists. Her 10th novel, "Downtown" tells the story of Smoky O'Donnell, a bright young woman who arrives in Atlanta in 1966 in search of an exciting beginning to a new life. A nostalgic love note to the innocence and promise of Atlanta in the '60s, "Downtown" is also a tender account of one woman's difficult choices and personal triumphs. A vibrant and fast-paced city on the move and on the make, Atlanta is one of the first cities to have its own magazine, called "Downtown," and it is where Smoky sets out to make her mark as a writer. Though Smoky has to literally earn her wings as a female reporter for the male-dominated magazine, she gains membership into an intimate family of dedicated staff members headed by Matt Comfort, a flamboyant and charismatic editor who is known everywhere in the city. "To be on its masthead was to own a piece of the city, " recalls Smoky. More than any previous novel, the details of "Downtown" mirror the facts of Anne Rivers Siddons' own life.
