La Casa de Pineapple Street / Pineapple Street - by Jenny Jackson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Un auténtico éxito que ha revolucionado las listas de más vendidos. Una novela afilada y divertida sobre la familia, las diferencias de clase... y tres mujeres del clan más adinerado de Brooklyn.

Darley, la hija mayor de los Stockton, acomodada, bien relacionada y criada entre algodones ha cambiado su trabajo y su herencia por la maternidad. Sasha, una chica normal de clase media, entra en el clan como una forastera al casarse con Cord. Y Georgiana, la más joven, se ha enamorado de alguien con quien no puede estar, en un arrebato irresponsable.

Repleta de lujos neoyorquinos, fiestas deslumbrantes y brunches con resaca, La casa de Pineapple Street es una comedia costumbrista, fresca y adictiva que nos sumerge en la vida de los ricos de Nueva York para reflexionar sobre la frivolidad, las relaciones, la familia y la enorme brecha que separa a los que tienen de los que no.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times bestseller A Good Morning America, Book Club Pick
Chosen as a best book of the year by The New York Times Time NPR USA Today Elle Harper's Bazaar Town & Country Vogue BBC POPSUGAR Goodreads the Skimm

"The season's first beach read, a delicious romp of a debut featuring family crises galore."-- The New York Times

"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.
