"Cristina Alger is so good, you just know she's an inside trader--as intimately familiar with the inner workings of Wall Street investment banks as she is with haute Manhattan social life. She's also a gifted storyteller. The Darlings is an utterly compelling novel, as knowing about family as it is about money and social status, and may be the best literary product of the financial crisis to date."
–Jay McInerney, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Life
