“The first beach read of the season, the first brilliantly hilarious read about family crisis.” —The New York Times
“A delicious new Gilded Age family drama…a guilty pleasure that also feels like a sociological text.” —Vogue
A brilliantly funny and sharply observed debut novel about family, love, and class, this zeitgeist-worthy novel follows three women from a wealthy Brooklyn family.
Darley, the well-connected eldest daughter of the Stockton family, followed her heart and traded her work and inheritance for motherhood, but she gave up too much in the process. Sasha is a middle-class New England girl who marries into a Brooklyn Heights family but finds herself an outsider to the nouveau riche. But Georgiana, the baby of the family, falls in love with someone she can’t have and must decide who she wants to be.
“Pineapple Street” is full of the indulgent joy of New York middle class life, and is a clever novel full of wisdom and escapism. Filled with recognisable, lovable – albeit fallible – characters, the book tells the story of the strange unknowability of other people’s families, the distance between haves and have-nots, and the madness of first love – all wrapped up in In a story that is purely delightful.
