Historical
From the author of the “thrilling” (The Christian
Science Monitor) novel The Other Typist comes
an evocative, multilayered story of ambition, success,
and secrecy in 1950s New York. In 1958, Greenwich Village buzzes with beatniks, jazz clubs,
and new ideas—the ideal spot for three ambitious young
people to meet. Cliff Nelson, the son of a successful book
editor, is convinced he’s the next Kerouac, if only his
father would notice. Eden Katz dreams of being an editor but
is shocked when she encounters roadblocks to that ambition.
And Miles Tillman, a talented black writer from Harlem,
seeks to learn the truth about his father’s past, finding
love in the process. Though different from one another, all
three share a common goal: to succeed in the competitive and
uncompromising world of book publishing. As they reach for
what they want, they come to understand what they must
sacrifice, conceal, and betray to achieve their goals,
learning they must live with the consequences of their choices. In Three-Martini Lunch, Suzanne Rindell has
written both a page-turning morality tale and a captivating
look at a stylish, demanding era—and a world steeped in
tradition that’s poised for great upheaval.
