"The season's first beach read, a delicious romp of a debut featuring
family crises galore."-- *The New York Times
"A delicious new Gilded Age family drama... a guilty pleasure that also
feels like a sociological text." --Vogue**
A deliciously funny, sharply observed debut of family, love, and class,
this zeitgeisty novel follows three women in one wealthy Brooklyn clan
Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected old money Stockton
family, followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for
motherhood but giving up far too much in the process; Sasha, a
middle-class New England girl, has married into the Brooklyn Heights
family, and finds herself cast as the arriviste outsider; and Georgiana,
the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can't have,
and must decide what kind of person she wants to be.
Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York's
one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that
sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveable--if
fallible--characters, it's about the peculiar unknowability of someone
else's family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the
insanity of first love--all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.
