INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
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 Nest
Darley, 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.
