Review:

** 'Bushnell's unparalleled ability to capture type borders in uncanny; the perceptiveness of David Attenborough studying a rare bird... Bushnell is clearly a master observer: no details evades, from the trapping of her protagonist s' world to their hopes and dreams (Sarah Maslin Nir, THE TIMES)

** 'Bushnell writes like a dream (Henry Sutton, Book of the Week, DAILY MIRROR)

** 'It's a shining example of accurately observed social commentary...she has matured as a writer, making it her mission to expose the warped materialism that life in the fast lane breeds, turning decent people into twisted, label-obsessed caricatures. It's all served up with a dose of devilishly dark humour, which makes us blissfully unaware we're being preached to. A hugely entertaining yarn with fascinating, and at times repellent, characters (Serena Kutchinsky, TIME OUT)

** 'Full of her usual keen-eyed observations of New York neuroses (VOGUE UK)

Book Description:

* Acutely observed and mercilessly witty, One Fifth Avenue is a modern-day story of old and new money, of sexual politics, real estate theft and fortunes won and lost in a day. Brilliant and original, no one can capture New York quite like Candace Bushnell.
