Morningside Heights

Set in a rapidly gentrifying New York City neighborhood in 1999, the novel captures the essence of a specific time and place with a style reminiscent of Anthony Trollope. The story offers a richly engaging narrative that reflects on the complexities of modern life, similar to the themes explored in The Way We Live Now. Cheryl Mendelson’s debut novel combines her skillful storytelling with the relatable charm that made her previous nonfiction work a bestseller, promising an immersive reading experience.
