'A delicious new Gilded Age family drama . . . a guilty pleasure
that also feels like a sociological text' VOGUE 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 . . . 'The
smartest and most deliciously fun novel I've read in ages' KEVIN
KWAN, author of Crazy Rich Asians '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
