Meet the women of pineapple street : Darley, who was born with money ; Sasha, who married into it ; and Georgiana, the baby and millennial conscience of the family, who wants to give it all away. Here in the rarefied world of Brooklyn's one percent - glittering fundraisers, private tennis clubs, and hungover Sunday brunches - the three sisters grapple with problems both relatable and decidedly less so.
Did Darley make a mistake betting her inheritance on love ? Why are middle-class Sasha's sisters-in-law convinced she's an arriviste social climber ? Can Georgiana, swept away by first love, make amends for a terrible mistake ? In a novel that is as wickedly funny as it is generous and tender, Pineapple Street is a glittering comedy about the bonds - love, marriage, money, and devotion - that make a family.
