New York: The Novel Novels & Stories

Camille's pov “Mama, the buildings look shiny,” Ella whispered dramatically from beside the window. I glanced toward her and smiled faintly. “That’s because New York likes showing off.” The first thing I felt when I stepped back into Manhattan was anger. Quiet anger sitting deep inside my chest while black SUVs moved through streets I once ran away from with nothing except humiliation and two unborn babies growing inside me. Noah looked up from his dinosaur book immediately. “Chicago is shiny too.”

Together. New York was receiving them in the grey of early morning, the city visible from the runway in its pre-dawn configuration, all indistinct and enormous.

ZOE “Your place is beautiful!” Rachel exclaimed, as she sprawled on my bed. I nodded, grateful for this apartment. It was big and beautiful. “It is.” “Apartments are very expensive in New York, my place sucks.” She shivered in hypothetical chills. “Is that why you were outside so late?” I asked, handing her a glass of juice.

She found a bookshop she hadn't known existed three blocks from her apartment and spent forty minutes in it and came out with two books she hadn't planned to bu

Nova York — Seven years before. New York is truly incredible, just as Mom described it. The one time she came here was enough to mark her memory. I never understood why she was so fond of this city, but I have come to understand.

Jane spent her first winter in New York engrossed in her work and learning to live with the city's biting cold. The city, draped in a white blanket of snow, was a sight to behold.
