The 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.
