LeFavour’s fiction debut is an upmarket literary crossover book with a ton of beach-read potential. Will appeal to fans of marriage-gone-awry novels such as The Vacationers by Emma Straub, Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff, and the work of Nora Ephron, Anita Shreve, Meg Wolitzer, and Anna Quindlen. A renowned memoirist and James Beard award-winning cookbook author, LeFavour has a burgeoning readership and many fans in the literary world. Her memoir Lights On, Rats Out , received a rave full page NYTBR review from Daphne Merkin, was featured in People and Harper’s Bazaar , and was a Kirkus Best Book of the Year for Nonfiction and An Amazon Best Book of the Month. Set over the course of one summer, starting on Memorial Day weekend and ending on Labor Day, Private Means follows two privileged married intellectuals who find themselves at odds with one another and dare to look elsewhere for thrills. LeFavour matches poignant and intellectual insights into human behavior with fast-paced prose and a page-turning, sexy plot.We have a rave blurb from Elizabeth Gilbert who compares Private Means to Cheever and McEwan, and we have two more blurbs coming from Claire Dederer and Michael Cunningham.
