- 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.
