Women's Fiction
BROOKLYN'S FAMED PARK SLOPE neighborhood has it all:
sprawling, majestic Prospect Park; acclaimed public schools;
historic brownstones; and progressive values. Among bohemian
bourgeois breeders, claiming a stake in Park Slope has
become a competitive sport.In the park, at the coffee shops,
and on the playgrounds of the neighborhood, four women's
lives come together during one long, hot Brooklyn summer.
Melora Leigh, a two-time Oscar-winning actress, frustrated
with her career and the pressures of raising her adopted
toddler, feels the seductive pull of kleptomania; Rebecca
Rose, missing the robust sex life of her pre-motherhood
days, begins a dangerous flirtation with a handsome
neighborhood celebrity; Lizzie O'Donnell, a former lesbian
(or "hasbian"), wonders why she is still drawn to women in
spite of her sexy husband and adorable baby; and Karen Bryan
Shapiro finds herself consumed by two powerful obsessions:
her four-year-old son's well-being and snagging the ultimate
three-bedroom apartment in a wellmaintained, P.S. 321-zoned
co-op building. As the women's paths intertwine (and
sometimes collide), each must struggle to keep her man, her
sanity...and her playdates.From the perennially hot author
and columnist Amy Sohn comes a smart, sexy, satirical peek
into the bedrooms and hearts of Prospect Park West.
