A Good Morning America Book Club Pick
“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 Nest
“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.
