Bright, Precious Days: A novel

From the best-selling author of Bright Lights, Big City: a sexy, vibrant, cross-generational New York story--a literary and commercial triumph of the highest order. Â

Even decades after their arrival, Corrine and Russell Calloway still feel as if theyâ€™re living the dream that drew them to New York City in the first place: book parties or art openings one night and high-society events the next; jobs they care about (and in fact love); twin children whose birth was truly miraculous; a loft in TriBeCa and summers in the Hamptons. But all of this comes at a fiendish cost. Russell, an independent publisher, has superb cultural credentials yet minimal cash flow; as he navigates a business that requires, beyond astute literary judgment, constant financial improvisation, he encounters an audacious, potentially game-changingâ€”or ruinousâ€”opportunity. Meanwhile, instead of chasing personal gain in this incredibly wealthy city, Corrine devotes herself to helping feed its hungry poor, and she and her husband soon discover theyâ€™re being priced out of the newly fashionable neighborhood theyâ€™ve called home for most of their adult lives, with their son and daughter caught in the balance.

Then Corrineâ€™s world is turned upside down when the man with whom sheâ€™d had an ill-fated affair in the wake of 9/11 suddenly reappears. As the novel unfolds across a period of stupendous changeâ€”including Obamaâ€™s historic election and the global economic collapse he inheritedâ€”the Calloways will find themselves and their marriage tested more severely than they ever could have imagined.
