Blog Giveaway : One Fifth Avenue Books
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!
From the highly acclaimed author of Sex and The City and Lipstick Jungle, Candace Bushnell brings to you her latest novel, One Fifth Avenue. Here’s a sneak peek of the book taken from an excerpt of Every Woman’s Voice :
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.
Acutely observed and mercilessly witty, One Fifth Avenue 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.

Her first book, Sex and the City, was the basis for the HBO hit television show and movie. I read the Lipstick Jungle and it was great!

Billy Litchfield and Philip Oakland. I did not think that I would like Sex and the City, but I do actually like it now. This looks like a great book. Thank you very much.
