The Wall Street Girl

Frederick Orin Bartlett's The Wall Street Girl sweeps listeners into the lively, sometimes comic bustle of New York finance and social life in the 1910s. A work of fiction and literary charm, Bartlett traces the fortunes and foibles of Don, a young man thrust into the world of Barton Saltonstall, and the spirited woman at the center of his attention, as they navigate ambition, manners, and the strictures of class. Set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Wall Street, the novel balances witty social observation with warm character study: office politics, salary debates, courtship rituals, and the small crises of urban living are rendered with clear-eyed humor and period detail. Bartlett’s prose captures both the rhythm of the trading floor and the more intimate scenes that reveal how social expectations shape personal choices. Ideal for fans of classic American literature and historical fiction, this audiobook appeals to listeners who enjoy character-driven stories, gentle satire, and authentic period atmosphere. Tune in for a taste of vintage New York—witty, humane, and quietly revealing about ambition and love in a changing world.
