I loved PINEAPPLE STREET. The characters are complex and engaging and their stories bring a particular slice of New York magically alive. So wise, emotionally honest, and such fun

It's marvellous - clever, funny and brilliantly well observed
- India Knight
A blissfully enjoyable novel. One to pack for the summer, whether you're headed for the Hamptons or the Norfolk Broads
- India Knight, Sunday Times
I stayed up until five in the morning devouring PINEAPPLE STREET. Nothing beats a story told this well and rendered with such lovingly comic precision . . . Truly the smartest and most deliciously fun novel I've read in ages

Pineapple Street is a portrait at once searing, hilarious and poignant of a NY family straight-jacketed by their own wealth
- Miranda Cowley Heller
A lovely, absorbing, acutely observed novel about class, money and love. These are the themes of Henry James and Jane Austen, but they are observed with a fresh eye and a contemporary voice.
- Nick Hornby
