Prospect Park West : A Novel

In Amy Sohn’s smart, sexy, satirical peek into the bedrooms and hearts of Prospect Park West, the lives of four women come together during one long, hot Brooklyn summer.

In the park, at the coffee shops, and on the playgrounds of the neighborhood, four women’s lives collide during a hot summer in Brooklyn. The lives of these four Brooklynite women look basic on the outside—but inside, each woman feels a building frustration with life that could burst any second.

Frustrated Academy Award–winning actress Melora Leigh, eager to relieve the pressures of raising her adopted toddler, feels the seductive pull of kleptomania; Rebecca Rose, missing her formerly robust sex life of her pre-motherhood days, begins a dangerous flirtation with handsome neighborhood celebrity; Lizzi O’Donnell, a so-called “former” lesbian, wonders why she is still drawn to women despite her sexy husband and adorable baby; and Karen Bryan Shapiro consumes herself with a powerful obsession that is sure to complete her perfect life—snagging the ultimate three-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained, P.S. 321–zoned co-op building.

As the women’s paths intertwined (and sometimes collide), each must struggle to keep her man, her sanity...and her playdates.
