Feb 1, 2023
The Stockton family are amongst the 1 Percenters - they’re unimaginably wealthy and live in a New York inhabited by few, very wealthy people. Pineapple Street looks at some of the issues that these very wealthy people face.
Tilda and Chip have 3 children: Darley, the eldest, decides to sign her money over to her children rather than have her husband, Malcolm, sign a prenup. This doesn’t seem to be an important decision with them both having good jobs. Things get a little tighter financially when Darley gives up her job at Goldman Sachs to be with her two young children, and even more so when Malcolm loses his job.
Cord, the middle child, finds it hard to cut the family ties even when he marries Sasha. She does sign the prenup, and has to live in Cords family house (his parents do however, move out) with all of his parents furniture still in it - and his younger sisters bedroom still intact.
Georgiana, the youngest, has a difficult relationship with the family money, and struggles when she enters into an affair with a completely unsuitable man.
All of the younger Stocktons start to look at their lives with a critical eye, and changer are afoot.
I loved this fun read about family, money, class, and with the story told from the points of view of the women - a woman’s place in this affluent world.
