One Fifth Avenue

One Fifth Avenue is The Building--the chicest, the hottest, the best pedigreed, with all the most interesting people. It's the One to Get Into. Within its pre-war walls the lives of New York City's cultural elite play out: from an over-40 actress whose comeback proves that women of style are truly ageless, to the spoiled and confident recent college grad whose mother expects to find the right man to launch her daughter into high society, to the grande-dame gossip columnist who's seen it all. As in her previous books, Candace Bushnell turns her eagle eye on the social and sexual politics of New Yorkers in an era when any kind of fame is like hard currency, and you are where you live.

Candace Bushnell is the internationally bestselling novelist whose first book, Sex and the City, was the basis for the HBO hit series and blockbuster movies. She is the author of seven novels, including Lipstick Jungle and The Carrie Diaries, which were made into popular TV series. She is the winner of the 2006 Matrix Award for books and a recipient of the Albert Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award.
