Goodbye to Berlin

To start the project off we have been asked to read Goodbye to Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, to both get a feel of the time and to understand the descriptions of the bold characters. I am now starting to understand why we had to look at this book because it gives us an idea of the time when anyone could be who they wanted to be and all the eccentric characters that included. It was particularly interesting reading about Sally Bowles because she is so much of what the 20's was about  including the decadence, glamour, sex, fashion, cabaret, putting on a show and anything goes/carefree attitude.
