This 1955 classic weeper “was one of my mother’s favorite books. It’s such a beautiful, tragic story. Marjorie is so full of gusto and romance.” A young girl from a conservative family, Morningstar dreams of being an actress but ultimately trades her ambition, and a passionate love affair, for a conventional suburban life. Johansson remembers a scene that involved kissing under the lilacs and notes: “Lilacs have always been my mom’s favorite flower, I think perhaps because of this book.”
