About this listen

In her wonderfully witty fifth novel, best-selling 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-40 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.

No one else can capture New York with the brilliant wit and flair of Candace Bushnell.

Critic Reviews

"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)

New York from a different angle.

An interesting story about a mismatched group of people co-existing in a supposed “exclusive” NYC address. Lots of twists and turns. Very good descriptions if the different apartments within. You almost feel like you’re there. A very enjoyable journey through NYC life in the early 2010’s.
