About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
This striking debut follows three women in an old Brooklyn Heights clan: one who was born with money, one who married into it, and one who wants to give it all away.
Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected, carefully-guarded Stockton family, has never had to worry about money. Darley followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood, sacrificing more of herself than she ever intended. Sasha, Darley's new sister-in-law, has come from more humble origins, and her hesitancy about signing a pre-nup has everyone worried about her intentions. And Georgiana, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can't (and really shouldn't) have, and must confront the kind of person she wants to be.
Shot through with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York's one per centers - glittering parties, weekend homes and hungover brunches - Pineapple Street is a scintillating, escapist novel that sparkles with wit and wry humour. Full of recognisable, loveable if fallible characters (and a few appalling ones!), it's about the peculiar unknowability of someone else's family, the miles between the haves and have-nots and everything in between.

"A lovely, absorbing, acutely observed novel about class, money and love. These are the themes of Henry James and Jane Austen, but they are observed with a fresh eye and a contemporary voice." (Nick Hornby)
"Pineapple Street is a portrait at once searing, hilarious and poignant of a NY family straight-jacketed by their own wealth." (Miranda Cowley Heller)
"I loved Pineapple Street. The characters are complex and engaging and their stories bring a particular slice of New York magically alive. So wise, emotionally honest, and such fun." (Helen Fielding)

Certainly a page turner
I def enjoyed this book - but felt the ending could have been more detailed. I’m assuming maybe there will be a sequel?

Not worth the credit
If you’re wanting a book where nothing really happens this one’s for you. It’s well written and not boring, but it really left me wanting more. The ending fell flat and I’m not really sure what the point of this book was.
