A New York Times Editor's Choice Pick A novel of huge heart and fierce intelligence. It has restored my faith in pretty much everything. -Ann Patchett #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth [An] electric debut novel...Reader beware: Spending time with Lucy is unapologetic fun and heartbreak and awe as well. -Chloe Malle The New York Times Book Review In this frank bittersweet coming-of-age story that crackles with raw adolescent energy fresh-cut prose and a kinetic sense of place (Entertainment Weekly) a teenaged tomboy explores love growing up and New York City in the early 1990s. New York 1993. Street-smart seventeen-year-old Lucy Adler is often the only girl on the public basketball courts. Lucy's inner life is a contradiction. She's by turns quixotic and cynical insecure and self-possessed and despite herself is in unrequited love with her best friend and pickup teammate Percy the rebellious son of a prominent New York family. As Lucy begins to question accepted notions of success bristling against her own hunger for male approval she is drawn into the world of a pair of provocative feminist artists living in what remains of New York's bohemia. Told with wit and pathos The Falconer is at once a novel of ideas a portrait of a time and place and an ode to the obsessions of youth. In her critically acclaimed debut Dana Czapnik captures the voice of an unforgettable modern literary heroine a young woman in the first flush of freedom.
