AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Escape to glamorous Pineapple
Street, New York, with 2023's must-read and warmest debut about
love, family, class and money, from exciting new literary voice
Jenny Jackson 'It's the novel Jane Austen would have written . . .
if Jane Austen lived in Brooklyn Heights in the 21st century' NEW
YORK TIMES 'Hilarious and poignant' MIRANDA COWLEY HELLER, author
of The Paper Palace 'The smartest and most deliciously fun novel
I've read in ages' KEVIN KWAN, author of Crazy Rich Asians 'An
absorbing, acutely observed novel about class, money and love' NICK
HORNBY, author of High Fidelity 'Filled with warmth and light. I
was moved, engaged, inspired and charmed' DAISY BUCHANAN, author of
Insatiable Old money. New family . . . Pineapple Street in Brooklyn
Heights is one of New York City's most desirable residences, and
home to the glamorous and well-connected Stockton family . . .
Darley, the eldest daughter, has never had to worry about money.
She followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for
motherhood - but ended up sacrificing more of herself than she ever
intended. Sasha is marrying into the wealthy Stockton family, who
are worlds apart from her own. She feels like the outsider, trying
to navigate their impenetrable traditions and please her new
mother-in-law - plus her hesitancy to sign a pre-nup has everyone
questioning her true intentions. Georgiana, the youngest, is
falling in love with someone she can't (and really shouldn't) have
- and is forced to confront the kind of person she wants to be.
Witty, escapist and full of heart, with an unmissable cast of
loveable - if flawed - characters, Pineapple Street is a
beautifully observed novel about the complexities of family
dynamics, the miles between the haves and the have-notes, and the
all-consuming insanity of first love - while also asking the
age-old question, can money really buy you happiness? Everyone is
talking about Pineapple Street . . . 'Wise, emotionally honest and
such fun' HELEN FIELDING, author of Bridget Jones Diary 'Jenny
Jackson turns this story of super-rich people living frustrated
lives in Brooklyn into a compelling and thoughtful look at what it
means to have very little agency in your own life. An excellent
read' Stylist 'Killer debut about class, love and money' Grazia
'Sharp and juicy' Nita Prose, bestselling author of The Maid 'This
is a story with huge heart about love and family' ***** Reader
Review 'Funny, witty, and compassionate' ***** Reader Review 'I
loved this book! A sharply observant, witty and perceptive look at
the wealthy in New York. A complete pleasure to read from start to
finish' ***** Reader Review
