Pineapple Street

by Jenny Jackson
Pineapple Street
Pineapple Street

Wealth, family dynamics, love, and social satire.

If the intricacies of familial relationships and the complexities of societal status intrigue you, "Pineapple Street" might be just the read you're looking to tuck into. With a healthy mix of humor and sharp observation, this novel delves into the lives of characters entangled in the privileges—and pitfalls—of inherited wealth in contemporary Brooklyn. It's a novel that might make you laugh, make you think, and certainly entertain with its glimpse into the strife that can accompany privilege.

Description

A deliciously funny, sharply observed novel of family, wealth, love, and tennis, this zeitgeisty debut follows three women in an old Brooklyn Heights clan: one who was born with money, one who married into it, and one, the millennial conscience of the family, who wants to give it all away.
