Opis

These Days Are Ours by Michelle Haimoff is a vivid, irresistible coming-of-age story for the Lena Dunham generation, set in New York and personally recommended to Penguin by bestselling author Nick Hornby (Fever Pitch, About a Boy). New York City, six months after 9/11: everything has changed and nothing has. Twenty-something Hailey's life is filled with a string of parties, noisy bars and lazy midweek brunches, but the thrill is starting to wear off. She graduated months ago and she's still living in her family's Fifth Avenue penthouse, spending every night falling in and out of taxis across Upper East Side Manhattan. And it isn't easy being young, rich and beautiful. Everyone suddenly seem to have their lives completely sorted - Katie has a great job at Morgan Stanley, Brenner is training to be a human rights lawyer and trust-fund kid Randy is just content to carry on having fun. Hailey is lost somewhere in the middle, torn between chasing down the next wild party and admitting that it might be time to grow up. Hailey is searching for something more meaningful, and she's convinced she'll find it in the gorgeous, aloof Michael Brenner. But when she meets Adrian, who is so totally different from her privileged milieu, she begins to realise she's been looking in all the wrong places...These Days Are Ours is brimming with the feverish, seductive chaos of youth, capturing that exhilarating time in your twenties when it's impossible to know where you are going in life. "Smart, witty, honest, and never anything less than utterly engaging". (Jonathan Tropper, author of How to Talk to a Widower). "Engrossing...Haimoff's writing resonates with an authenticity and gravitas that books about girls trying to find themselves in the big city often lack. Her details about elite schools and childhood haunts in Manhattan pepper Hailey's memories in often touching ways. A thoughtful novel for our time". (Publishers Weekly). Michelle has written for the Los Angeles Times, PsychologyToday.com, The Huffington Post, YourTango.com and NYTimes.com. Corporate clients include IDEO, Jane Street Capital and Red Antler. She blogs about First World feminism at genfem.com and her podcast can be heard at michellehaimoff.podomatic.com.
