Product Information
A sparkling, enchanting and staggeringly original debut novel about one day in the lives of three unforgettable characters Madeleine Altimari is a smart-mouthed, precocious nine-year-old and an aspiring jazz singer. As she mourns the recent death of her mother, she doesn't realize that on Christmas Eve Eve she is about to have the most extraordinary day--and night--of her life. After bravely facing down mean-spirited classmates and rejection at school, Madeleine doggedly searches for Philadelphia's legendary jazz club The Cat's Pajamas, where she's determined to make her on-stage debut. On the same day, her fifth grade teacher Sarina Greene, who's just moved back to Philly after a divorce, is nervously looking forward to a dinner party that will reunite her with an old high school crush, afraid to hope that sparks might fly again. And across town at The Cat's Pajamas, club owner Lorca discovers that his beloved haunt may have to close forever, unless someone can find a way to quickly raise the $30,000 that would save it. As these three lost souls search for love, music and hope on the snow-covered streets of Philadelphia, together they will discover life's endless possibilities over the course of one magical night. A vivacious, charming and moving debut, 2 AM AT THE CAT'S PAJAMAS will capture your heart and have you laughing out loud. From the Hardcover edition.

"2 a.m. at the Cat's Pajamas is as winning and funny as the nine year-old at its heart, and I love it for the way its protagonists turn their back on their city's cruddiness and their own losses to proclaim their happiness to be in this world. They offer wryness as the antidote to self-pity and benevolence as the antidote to isolation, and they demonstrate how even the most forsaken can turn themselves into a warm, dry house." -- Jim Shepard, author of Like You'd Understand, Anyway , and You Think That's Bad, NPR''s Best Books of 2014 selection PopSugar 2014 Must Reads selection L Magazine 2014 Gift Guide Kansas City Star - 100 best books of 2014 Selection BuzzFeed - The 22 Most Exciting Literary Debuts Of 2014 Selection "Delightful...[This] story has it all." --Time Out New York "Consistently funny...[And] its characters are worth rooting for."-- NPR "Enchanting...Rich and real...The book feels lively, with the jostling energy of...well, a club."-- The Millions "The purely original construction of an irresistible story...
