  • "One Fifth Avenue is THE building, the chicest, 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."

  • "One Fifth Avenue, the Art Deco beauty towering over one of Manhattan?s oldest and most historically hip neighborhoods, is a one-of-a-kind address, the sort of building you have to earn your way into?one way or another. For the women in Candace Bushnell?s new novel, One Fifth Avenue, this edifice is essential to the lives they?ve established?or hope to establish. From the hedge fund king?s wife to the aging gossip columnist to the free-spirited actress (a recent refugee from L.A.), each person?s game plan for a rich life is realized under the soaring roof of this landmark building. Acutely observed and mercilessly witty, One Fifth Avenue is a modern-day story of old and new money, the always combustible mix that Edith Wharton mastered in her novels about New York?s Gilded Age and that F. Scott Fitzgerald illuminated in his Jazz Age tales. Decades later, Bushnell?s New Yorkers suffer the same passions as those fictional Manhattanites from eras past: They thirst for power, for social prominence, and for marriages that are successful?at least to the public eye. But Bushnell is an original, and One Fifth Avenue is so fresh that it reads as if sexual politics, real estate theft, and fortunes lost in a day have never happened before. From Sex and the City through four successive novels, Bushnell has revealed a gift for tapping into the zeitgeist of any New York minute. Her stories progress so nimbly and ring so true that it can seem as if anyone might write them?when, in fact, no one writes novels quite like Candace Bushnell."@en
