The Princess of 72nd StreetThe Princess of 72nd Street

In Elaine Kraf's witty, sardonic novel The Princess of 72nd Street, The Princess Esmeralda is sure of her royalty, her seizures of 'radiance, ' and her domain-Manhattan's 72nd Street from Central Park West to Riverside Drive. On the other hand, Ellen has trouble coping with an ex-lover, his psychiatrist, an ex-husband, dining out, putting just one color on her canvases at a time, and trying to keep a radiant Esmeralda from being arrested.
