Tuesday Morning Book Club: Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson

Read Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson and then come discuss it with us at the Des Plaines Public Library.

A deliciously funny, sharply observed debut of family, love, and class, this zeitgeisty novel follows three women in one wealthy Brooklyn clan Darley, the eldest daughter in the well-connected old money Stockton family, followed her heart, trading her job and her inheritance for motherhood but giving up far too much in the process; Sasha, a middle-class New England girl, has married into the Brooklyn Heights family, and finds herself cast as the arriviste outsider; and Georgiana, the baby of the family, has fallen in love with someone she can’t have, and must decide what kind of person she wants to be. Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit.

Copies of these books are available at the Readers Services desk on the 3rd floor of the library. Registration required. The book club will meet in the Commons on the third floor of the Des Plaines Public Library @ 10:00pm on January 14th.

Please call (847) 376.2840 or email [email protected] if you have any questions.
