Riverside Drive.

Doubleday, 1-May-88. Book Club. Hardcover. Good. GOOD BOOK! BOOK CLUB EDITION. HEAVY WEAR ON BLUE DUSTJACKET, LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, NO MARKS IN TEXT. From Library Journal: The warm, feisty cleaning lady works for families living on New York's Riverside Drive. Mondays are for the loveless yuppies; Tuesdays, for the romantic, but disillusioned, heiress; Wednesdays, for the successful black couple with alcoholism in their past; Thursdays, for the elderly and impoverished lady; and Fridays, for the married, though in crisis, TV producers. The lives of these families intertwine improbably in this fluffy, predictable, but pleasant, first novel. Ironically, one character is an editor committed to good literature; the author herself is a former editor at Doubleday, which is heavily promoting this book. But why quibble over trite phrases or misplaced modifiers when this book is what everyone will be reading on the beach? Literary Guild featured alternate.
