Primates of Park Avenue: A Memoir

Primates of Park Avenue: A Memoir

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, Primates of Park Avenue is an â€œamusing, perceptive andâ€¦deliciously evilâ€ (The New York Times Book Review) memoir of the most secretive and elite tribeâ€”Manhattanâ€™s Upper East Side mothers.

When Wednesday Martin first arrives on New York Cityâ€™s Upper East Side, sheâ€™s clueless about the right addresses, the right wardrobe, and the right schools, and sheâ€™s taken aback by the glamorous, sharp-elbowed mommies around her. She feels hazed and unwelcome until she begins to look at her new niche through the lens of her academic background in anthropology. As she analyzes the tribeâ€™s mating and migration patterns, childrearing practices, fetish objects, physical adornment practices, magical purifying rituals, bonding rites, and odd realities like sex segregation, she finds it easier to fit in and even enjoy her new life. Then one day, Wednesdayâ€™s world is turned upside down, and she finds out thereâ€™s much more to the women who sheâ€™s secretly been calling Manhattan Geishas.

â€œThink Gossip Girl, but with a sociological study of the parentsâ€ (InStyle.com), Wednesdayâ€™s memoir is absolutely â€œeye-poppingâ€ (People). Primates of Park Avenue lifts a veil on a secret, elite world within a worldâ€”the strange, exotic, and utterly foreign and fascinating life of privileged Manhattan motherhood.
