Everybody Rise
Information and reviews for the novel Everybody Rise by Stephanie Clifford’s, a New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review editors’ choice.
The New York Times bestseller and New York Times editor’s choice.
"A superb debut. EVERYBODY RISE is a 21st-century version of a grand 19th-century novel—a smart, moving tale of class, ambition and identity."
- MALCOLM GLADWELL
"Capturing New York City in the overheated moment preceding the financial crisis...In a tightly plotted narrative, Clifford shows how Evelyn's tenuous initiation into this most elite of social network coincides with an increasingly desperate effort to secure her footing there. Clifford details the manners of the old-money set with a reporter's well-trained eye...Suggestive, lyrical."
- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW (EDITOR’S CHOICE)
"Finally, a novel that admits 'making it' in New York isn't just a makeover away...Realistic examination of being young in New York—albeit one that's as warm and witty as an Anne Hathaway fairy tale."
- VANITY FAIR
"A boomtime dramedy of manners featuring a bright young cast of haves and desperately-want-to-haves, all clinging to a very rickety social ladder. Clifford's lively and biting debut gets to the quick of ambition at its most corrosive."
