We Used To Own The Bronx: Memoirs Of a Former Debutante

“With cheeky wit and considerable bravery, Pell takes on her upper-crust upbringing of horseback riding and private schools … Readers fascinated by New York history and society will appreciate the entertaining stories of rich eccentrics and social movers and shakers.” — Library Journal

“Eve Pell gives us a fascinating glimpse into a secret world of unfathomable wealth and privilege. Hers is an unexpected and ultimately hopeful journey of rebellion and reconciliation.” — Jane Fonda

“An intriguing look at a world of arcane, white-gloved ritual and great privilege by a writer rebellious enough to leave it behind, wise enough to know that doing so is no quick and simple matter, and aware enough to know that the alternative worlds she discovers have their own moral complexities as well.” — Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost and Bury the Chains
