A modem comedy of manners--a landmark novel...Its observations about money, the intemet, the function of art in society as well as sex romps, social climbing,and snobbery enhance Bushnell's reputation as an astute observer of modem life.

Another look at the tough and tender women of New York City from Candace Bushnell, the author of Sex and the City, Trading Up, and Lipstick Jungle.In One Fifth Avenue, Bushnell tells the intertwined stories of five women at one swanky Manhattan address. One Fifth is the building--the chicest, the hottest, the one with the best pedigree, the one with all the most interesting people. And within its gorgeous pre-war walls, fortunes fall and rise in the early days of the new millennium.Here, as in her previous novels, Bushnell turns a gimlet eye on the social and sexual politics of New York's elite,this time through the lens of where they live.
