EVERYBODY RISE: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 14289015B78448
English Summary/英文概要： It’s 2006 in the Manhattan of the young and the privileged: the stock market is booming and kids two years out of college are buying vacation homes with cash. Holding down a job is not always as valued as being a fixture on the social scene. As money and ambition consume the city, a new generation of heirs and strivers are jockeying for social power and discovering that class, especially on the Upper East Side, still holds sway.
Everybody Rise is a keenly observed novel in which a young woman plunges headlong into a glittering world of wealth and social prestige. Evelyn Beegan, an irresistibly flawed heroine, relentlessly elbows her way up the social ladder. In order to be accepted, she must pass as upper class and be seen as someone with an established old money background. Her lies start slowly but quickly grow until the ground underneath her begins to give way.
Class distinction, particularly those created by inherited wealth, have always fascinated Americans. In each generation, there emerges a writer who captures our conflicted attitudes about “society” in a new way, whether it is American legends like Henry James in the 19th century, F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 20th century or more contemporary voices like Curtis Sittenfeld and now Stephanie Clifford in the 21st.
Film rights have been sold to Fox 2000, with Karen Rosenfelt (Twilight; The Devil Wears Prada) producing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 故事发生在2006年的曼哈顿。阶级等级依然占据着十分重要的地位，尤其是在上东区。主人公Evelyn Beegan并非什么完美的角色，却有着令人无法抗拒的魅力。她努力试图跻身上流社会。为了被上流社会所接受，她不得不假装自己是老派上层贵族的后代。谎言一旦开始，便一发不可收拾，直到她身后的世界开始慢慢崩塌……
阶级差异一直是美国人热衷的题材。每一代人之中总会出现一位作家，以一种全新的方式捕捉人们对“社会”的矛盾态度，包括19世纪的亨利•詹姆斯，20世纪的菲茨杰拉德，科蒂斯•希登费尔德，和21世纪的Stephanie Clifford。
小说的电影版权已经被FOX 2000买下，制片人是Karen Rosenfelt（《暮光之城》《穿Prada的恶魔》）(LYR)
