5.0 out of 5 stars Stylishly Delicious, Wicked Fictional Romp Courtesy of Amy Sohn, 4 Oct 2009
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In her longest - if not quite her most accomplished - novel to date, fellow Brunonian Amy Sohn offers us a witty, often wickedly funny, satirical romp through the lives of four women in the trendy Brooklyn neighborhood of Park Slope. Hers is a well written, and rather thoughtful, excursion in that well-trodded literary genre known as "Chick Lit", but it's clearly far from routine, with four rather subtlely drawn female protagonists. For this reason alone, I wouldn't even mention it in the same breath as other, now classic, examples of this genre.

The Park Slope which Amy Sohn writes of isn't quite the one I recall growing up in the 1970s and early 1980s, as the neighborhood was undergoing a large scale exercise in urban gentrification. Moreover, many of the situations she described could well happen elsewhere in New York City, especially in Brooklyn Heights or the Upper East Side. But, much to her credit, she does a most admirable job describing and dissecting the various feminine subcultures represented by each of these women, ranging from ambitious single women to sexually repressed stay-at-home moms.

Those who have been familiar with Amy's work might agree with me that her literary triumph has to be her "My Old Man" from earlier this decade, in which she delved into the social - and especially sexual - relationships of upwardly mobile Jews in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. In my Amazon.com review of "My Old Man" I asked whether Amy was becoming our 21st Century Edith Wharton. Here, in "Prospect Park West", she has demonstrated that she is no mere clone of either Edith Wharton or Candace Bushnell.
