This âdelicious take on the one percent in our nationâs capitalâ (Town & Country) and clever combination of The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Nest explores what Washington, DCâs high society members do behind the closed doors of their stately homes.
They are the families considered worthy of a listing in the exclusive Green Bookâa discriminative diary created by the niece of Edith Rooseveltâs social secretary. Their aristocratic bloodlines are woven into the very fabric of Washingtonâgeneration after generation. Their old money and manner lurk through the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, Kalorama, and Capitol Hill. They only socialize within their inner circle, turning a blind eye to those who come and go on the political merry-go-round. These parents and their children live in gilded existences of power and privilege.
But what they have failed to understand is that the world is changing. And when the family of one of their own is held hostage and brutally murdered, everything about their legacy is called into question in this unputdownable novel that âcombines social satire with moral outrage to offer a masterfully crafted, absorbing read that can simply entertain on one level and provoke reasoned discourse on anotherâ (Booklist, starred review). - Simon and Schuster
