Fiction Family Life
In this amazingly timely story about what
the wealthy do when Wall Street lays an egg, the author of
Gilding Lily once again delivers a witty and
insightful treatment of today's woman, as she explores the
sacrifices they make, the bargains they strike, the rules
they follow, and what happens when it all starts to fall
apart. Who could have guessed that
Wall Street would go south just as Marcy Emerson and her
husband moved east? Down to earth Marcy relocated from
Chicago to New York when her husband was offered a big time
job as a hedge fund manager. She gives up her own
job—after all, hedge fund wives don't work! And while at
first it's fun to shop all day and party all night, Marcy
quickly learns that life among the rich can be anything but
easy and that behind every smile can be a stab in the back.
Still, it's not until her husband leaves her for
his thinner, blonder mistress—a woman who is higher up the
social ladder than the original Mrs. Emerson will ever
be—that Marcy decides to stand on her own two feet once
again, and fight for the things that are far more important
than money.
