Fiction
What happens after happily-ever-after fades? Can the answer
be found one flight up? India, Abby, Esme, and Monique have all been friends since
their days at Manhattan’s Sibley School for Girls. From the
outside, these four women—all grown up now—seem to be living
ideal lives, yet each finds herself suddenly craving more. India Chumley is a whip-smart divorce lawyer who routinely
declines the marriage proposals of her charming French
boyfriend, Julien. She’s taking the first plunge by moving
in with him, but she’s keeping her own apartment—and keeping
it a secret from him. Abby Rosenfeld Adams is an irrepressibly upbeat gallery
owner who married her WASP college sweet heart, a passionate
but tormented sculptor. When she suspects he is cheating on
her, she realizes that perhaps there’s more to life than
reassuring her husband of his artistic brilliance. Esme Sarmiento Talbot is a Colombian Scarlett O’Hara, bored
with her proper Connecticut life and her tame, all-American
husband. In order to satisfy her sensuality, she escapes to
Manhattan and distracts herself with casual encounters. A card-carrying member of Harlem’s thriving buppie-ocracy
and a successful gynecologist, Monique Dawkins-Dubois is
married to a powerful but dull financier who barely notices
her anymore. When an attractive coworker beckons, Monique
can’t help but be flattered. The most straitlaced of them all, India is dismayed by her
friends’ illicit activities. That is, until her ex-fiancé,
the love of her life and the destroyer of her heart,
reappears in New York— and she finds herself caught between
the dependable man she thought was her future and the man
she never quite let go of. Dazzling and sexy, One Flight Up is an irresistible comedic
romp through the boardrooms, bedrooms, and ballrooms of
Manhattan and Paris.
