Synopsis
A deliciously funny, sharply observed debut of family, love, and class, this zeitgeisty novel follows three women in one rich New York clan &“Transporting and laugh-out-loud funny, this intergenerational story is a perfect tale for our times.&” —J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Friends and Strangers &“A vibrant and hilarious debut…Pineapple Street is riveting, timely, hugely entertaining and brimming with truth.&” —Cynthia D&’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The NestDarley, the eldest daughter in the closely-tied, carefully-guarded, old money Stockton family, made the classic feminine mistake and gave up her job for her children before she realized she&’d sacrificed more of herself than she intended; Sasha married into the Stocktons, and finds herself the outsider looking into the fishbowl, wondering if she will ever understand their ways; and Georgianna, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can&’t (and really shouldn&’t) have, and must confront the 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 (and a few appalling ones!), it&’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else&’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots and everything in between, and the insanity of first love—all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight of a read.
