Description
"When unimaginable wealth combines with unlimited leisure time on an island barely three times the size of New York's Central Park, human foibles and desires, lust and greed, passion and avarice, become magnified and intensified. Like laboratory rats fed growth hormones, the 9800 Palm Beach residents - 87 percent of whom are millionaires - exhibit the most outlandish extremes of their breed."--BOOK JACKET. "To tell the story, Kessler follows four Palm Beachers through the season. These four characters - the reigning queen of Palm Beach society, the night manager of Palm Beach's trendiest bar, a gay "walker" who escorts wealthy women to balls, and a thirty-six-year-old gorgeous blonde who says she "can't find a guy in Palm Beach" - know practically everyone on the island and tell what goes on behind the scenes."--BOOK JACKET. "Interweaving the yarns of these figures with the lifestyle, history, scandals, lore, and rituals of a unique island of excess, The Season creates a narrative that no novelist could dream up."--BOOK JACKET.
