Francesca Weissman, an Upper East Side pediatrician rated number one by \u003ci\u003eManhattan\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, floats on the fringes of the upper strata of privilege and aspiration. Through her bemused eyes we meet the thoroughbred socialite Samantha Acton; relentless social climber Judy Tremont; Barry Santorini, an Oscar-winning moviemaker accustomed to having his way; his supermarket heiress wife, Clarice; and more, tossed together in a frothy stew of outrageous conspicuous consumption and adulterous affairs that play out on Page Six. But when Wasserstein's madcap tour of the social lives and mores of twenty-first-century Manhattan veers into tragedy, we finally see the true cost of her characters' choices, and the beating heart of this dazzling novel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551954411793,"sku":"GOR002536615","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49756498460945,"sku":"CIN1400076870G","price":3.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50662831685905,"sku":"CIN1400076870VG","price":4.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1400076870.jpg?v=1777370703","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/elements-of-style-book-wendy-wasserstein-9781400076871","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
