From one of the most consistently astute and engaging social commentators of our day comes another look at the tough and tender women of New York City—this time, through the lens of where they live.
One Fifth Avenue, the Art Deco beauty towering over one of Manhattan's oldest and most historically hip neighborhoods, is a one-of-a-kind address, the sort of building you have to earn your way into—one way or another. For the women in Candace Bushnell's new novel, this edifice is essential to the lives they've carefully established—or hope to establish. From the hedge fund king's wife to the aging gossip columnist to the free-spirited actress, each person's game plan for a rich life is realized under the soaring roof of this landmark building.
From Sex and the City through four successive novels, Bushnell has revealed a gift for tapping into the zeitgeist of any New York minute and, as one critic put it, staying uncannily "just the slightest bit ahead of the curve." With the acutely observed and mercilessly witty One Fifth Avenue, she has done it again.
