The Darlings by Cristina Alger
A Bonfire of the Vanities for our times, by an author who "knows her way around 21st-century wealth and power" (The Wall Street Journal)Since he married Merrill Darling, daughter of billionaire financier Carter Darling, attorney Paul Ross has grown accustomed to all the luxuries of Park Avenue. But a tragic event is about to catapult the Darling family into the middle of a massive financial investigation and a red-hot scandal. Suddenly, Paul must decide where his loyalties really lie.
Debut novelist Cristina Alger is a former analyst at Goldman Sachs, an attorney, and the daughter of a Wall Street financier. Drawing on her unique insider's perspective, Alger gives us an irresistible glimpse into the highest echelons of New York society-and a fast-paced thriller of epic proportions that powerfully echoes Claire Messud's The Emperor's Children and reads like a fictional Too Big to Fail.
Cristina Alger is the bestselling author of The Darlings, This Was Not the Plan, The Banker's Wife, and Girls Like Us. She was born and raised in New York City. She worked as a financial analyst and a corporate attorney before becoming a writer after graduating from Harvard College and NYU Law School. She is currently working on her next novel while living in New York with her husband and children.
