An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Primates of Park Avenue is
an "amusing, perceptive and...deliciously evil" (The New York Times
Book Review) memoir of the most secretive and elite
tribe-Manhattan's Upper East Side mothers. When Wednesday Martin
first arrives on New York City's Upper East Side, she's clueless
about the right addresses, the right wardrobe, and the right
schools, and she's taken aback by the glamorous, sharp-elbowed
mommies around her. She feels hazed and unwelcome until she begins
to look at her new niche through the lens of her academic
background in anthropology. As she analyzes the tribe's mating and
migration patterns, childrearing practices, fetish objects,
physical adornment practices, magical purifying rituals, bonding
rites, and odd realities like sex segregation, she finds it easier
to fit in and even enjoy her new life. Then one day, Wednesday's
world is turned upside down, and she finds out there's much more to
the women who she's secretly been calling Manhattan Geishas. "Think
Gossip Girl, but with a sociological study of the parents"
(InStyle.com), Wednesday's memoir is absolutely "eye-popping"
(People). Primates of Park Avenue lifts a veil on a secret, elite
world within a world-the strange, exotic, and utterly foreign and
fascinating life of privileged Manhattan motherhood.
