International bestseller
New York Times bestseller
"Devotees of Bushnell's megahit Sex in the City and fans of New York aimed satire will enjoy this scathing all's-fair-in-real estate novel."
Booklist
"A darkly humorous chick lit saga."
Publishers Weekly
New York Times bestselling author of Lipstick Jungle and Sex and the City.
One Fifth Avenue is THE building - the choicest, the hottest, with all the best people. Within its luxuriously thick walls the lives of New York City's elite play out. There is Schiffer Diamond, an over-forty actress who had given up making movies and moved to Europe, until the call to come home gave her the chance to prove that women of style are truly ageless.
There is spoiled, self-assured Lola, whose mother is determined to launch her darling daughter into society and the arms of the right man by clawing her way into the building. There is Annalisa, a reluctant socialite who has renounced her law career to be the perfect wife to her workaholic husband, and Winnie, who is married to an underpublished writer and has been the family breadwinner too long for her own - and her marriage's - good. And there is Nini, a glamorous grande dame who has lived at One Fifth Avenue for decades and seen everything from her penthouse view. No one else can capture New York with the brilliant wit and flair of Candace Bushnell.
"Bushnell's unparalleled ability to capture type borders in uncanny; the perceptiveness of David Attenborough studying a rare bird... Bushnell is clearly a master observer: no details evades, from the trapping of her protagonists' world to their hopes and dreams."
The Times
"Hooray - here's some fun, girls!... a dollop of unashamed indulgence... flavour-filled, instantly gratifying and spiked with piquancy... Bushnell is always of her time, and reading this book is like watching the Red Sea close up with Moses safely across. It is a swansong for the age of avarice as it passes. Have a bit - it's delicious."
The Independent on Sunday
"Bushnell writes like a dream."
