Pineapple Street

More about the book

A deliciously funny and sharply observed debut explores family, love, and class through the lives of three women in a wealthy New York clan. This intergenerational story is both timely and entertaining, offering a perfect reflection of contemporary life. Darley, the eldest daughter of the old-money Stockton family, sacrifices her career for motherhood, only to realize she has lost more of herself than intended. Sasha, who marries into the Stocktons, feels like an outsider, struggling to navigate their exclusive world. Meanwhile, Georgianna, the youngest, falls for someone she shouldn’t and must confront her own identity. Filled with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s elite, this smart, escapist novel sparkles with wit and features a cast of lovable, flawed characters, alongside a few appalling ones. It delves into the complexities of family dynamics, the divide between the haves and have-nots, and the madness of first love, all wrapped in a delightful narrative. The story captures the peculiar unknowability of others’ families while providing a humorous and insightful look at the lives of its characters.
