From the author of the âthrillingâ (The Christian Science Monitor) novel The Other Typist comesan evocative, multilayered story of ambition, success, and secrecy in 1950s New York.
In 1958, Greenwich Village buzzes with beatniks, jazz clubs, and new ideasâthe ideal spot for three ambitious young people to meet. Cliff Nelson, the son of a successful book editor, is convinced heâs the next Kerouac, if only his father would notice. Eden Katz dreams of being an editor but is shocked when she encounters roadblocks to that ambition. And Miles Tillman, a talented black writer from Harlem, seeks to learn the truth about his fatherâs past, finding love in the process. Though different from one another, all three share a common goal: to succeed in the competitive and uncompromising world of book publishing. As they reach for what they want, they come to understand what they must sacrifice, conceal, and betray to achieve their goals, learning they must live with the consequences of their choices. In Three-Martini Lunch,Suzanne Rindell has written both a page-turning morality tale and a captivating look at a stylish, demanding eraâand a world steeped in tradition thatâs poised for great upheaval.
