1185 Park Avenue by Anne Roiphe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Anne Roiphe`s affluent Jewish home seemed to have everything: money, status and culture. Money can`t buy happiness. Eloquent, honest, enthralling, 1185 Park Avenue: A Memoir is her fascinating story of growing up in 1940s New York City, a personal tale and a chronicle of American history. The nation was at war and so were her parents. Roiphe invites readers into Apartment 8C with her philandering father, disappointed, helpless mother and misfit brother. On the surface was a leisurely life of mah-jongg and cocktail parties. Underneath lay brutality. Discover the moving tale of a financially successful, spiritually destitute family. | 1185 Park Avenue by Anne Roiphe, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
