The fifth novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Sex and the City and Lipstick Jungle. This time, Bushnell offers a dazzling insider's-eye view of the New York City's tough and tender society women (and some men) through the lens of where they live. One Fifth Avenue exposes the intertwined lives inside one of Manhattan s most luxe and coveted addresses. Candace Bushnell s fans will relish this return to some of her trademark topics (friends and fashion, men and manners, social climbers and shoes), but readers who have not read Bushnell s fiction before may be even more impressed. From the get-go, they ll realize what a first-rate storyteller she is not only an astute chronicler of the social moment, but an accomplished novelist, an author whose books will last.

 

One Fifth Avenue, the Art Deco beauty towering over one of Manhattan s oldest and most historically hip neighborhoods, is the sort of building you have to earn your way into one way or another. For the women Bushnell follows in One Fifth Avenue, this edifice is essential for 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.), the game plan for a rich life comes together under the soaring roof of this landmark building.

 

Acutely observed and mercilessly witty, One Fifth Avenue is a modern-day tale of old and new money--of sexual politics, real estate theft, and fortunes lost in a day.

 

From Sex and the City through for successive novels, Bushnell has revealed a gift for tapping into the zeitgeist of any New York minute and, as one critic put it, staying uncannily just the slightest bit ahead of the curve. And with each book, she has deepened her range, but with such a light touch that she makes her accomplishment look easy. Her stories progress so nimbly and ring so true that it can seem as if anyone might write them, when, in fact, no one writes novels quite like Candace Bushnell.
