In her wonderfully witty fifth novel, bestselling author Candace Bushnell tells the stories of five women living in Manhattan’s swankiest apartment building. 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 is – 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 Links and Further Reading
