Revue de presse :
"ONE FIFTH AVENUE is a modern comedy of manners -- a landmark novel, if you like. Its observations about money, the Internet, the function of art in society as wellas sex romps, social climbing and snobbery enhance Bushnell's reputation as an astute observer of modern life....Carrie Bradshaw wannabes as well as women (and men) near Bushnell's age -- she turns 50 this year -- will be pulled into this refreshing and highly entertaining novel about the power of money, sex and celebrity."―USA TODAY
"Bushnell...broadens her scope in her latest ode to New York strivers and sophisticates...The fun lies in the author's acute observations about everything from real estate envy to midlife crises."―More
"Where [Bushnell] goes, her army of stilletoed fans follow. You gotta love it: the conflict, the secrets-telling, the peek into the world of the rich and valueless. It all adds up to a juicy summer read."―New York Post
"One Fifth Avenue is all things an escapist read she be: quick and wicked and wry. There's a blown-out bitch to root against, a star-crossed couple to root for, and a Tim Gunn-style best friend who deserves his own book. Great, guiltless fun."―Entertainment Weekly

In this, her fifth book, best-selling author Candace Bushnell takes us inside the enclave of a wealthy, exclusive New York City apartment building where your worth is measured by the square foot and personal decorators are the newest accessory. Candace gives us five stories that all take place within the walls of the same Fifth Avenue co-op building:
· An actress of a certain age whose career is on hold returns to New York City after years away
· A gay art dealer who caters to the local socialites and is privy to all their innermost thoughts
· A Nuevo Riche family from the South who want to introduce their daughter into New York society no matter the cost
· A bored socialite whose workaholic hedge-fund manager husband may have something fishy going on
· A struggling author who just got a big break but might have to sell his soul for it
In Candace s new novel the lives of the privileged that look so rosy on the exterior mask a darker underbelly of cutthroat rules, secret lives, and the constant pressure to stay on top.

Description du livre Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neu neuware, importqualität, auf lager - 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 carefully 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 comes together under the soaring roof of this landmark building. This book is a modern-day story of old and new money, that same combustible mix that Edith Wharton mastered in her novels about New York's Gilded Age and F. Scott Fitzgerald illuminated in his Jazz Age tales. Many 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. 576 pp. Englisch.
