Produktinformationen zu „One Fifth Avenue, English edition “
In this, her fifth book, best-selling author Candace Bushnell takes us inside the enclave of a wealthy, exclusive New York City apartment building where your worth is measured by the square foot and personal decorators are the newest accessory. Candace gives us five stories that all take place within the walls of the same Fifth Avenue co-op building. The lives of the privileged that look so rosy on the exterior mask a darker underbelly of cutthroat rules, secret lives, and the constant pressure to stay on top.
Klappentext zu „One Fifth Avenue, English edition “
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, One Fifth Avenue, 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 (a recent refugee from L.A.), each person's game plan for a rich life comes together under the soaring roof of this landmark building. This book is a modern-day story of old and new money, that same combustible mix that Edith Wharton mastered in her novels about New York's Gilded Age and F. Scott Fitzgerald illuminated in his Jazz Age tales. Many decades later, Bushnell's New Yorkers suffer the same passions as those fictional Manhattanites from eras past: They thirst for power, for social prominence, and for marriagesthat are successful - at least to the public eye. But Bushnell is an original, and One Fifth Avenue is so fresh that it reads as if sexual politics, real estate theft, and fortunes lost in a day have never happened before.
