An electrifying debut novel that unfolds in the course of a single day inside one genteel New York City apartment building, as tensions between the building\u2019s super and his grown-up daughter spark a crisis that will, by day\u2019s end, change everything.<\/p>\n

Ruby has a strange relationship to privilege. She grew up the super\u2019s daughter in the basement of an Upper West Side co-op that gets more gentrified with each passing year. Though not economically privileged herself, her close childhood friendship with Caroline, the daughter of affluent tenants, and the mere fact of living in such a wealthy neighborhood, close to her beloved Natural History Museum, brought her certain advantages, even expectations. Naturally Ruby followed her dreams and took out loans to attend a prestigious small liberal arts college and explore her interest in art. But now, out of school for a while, she is no closer to her dream job, or anything resembling it, and she\u2019s been forced by circumstances to do the last thing she wanted to do: move back in with her parents, back into the basement. And Caroline is throwing one of her parties tonight, in her father\u2019s glorious penthouse apartment, a party Ruby looks forward to and dreads in equal measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
