Jodi Della Femina, daughter of legendary adman turned restaurateur Jerry, has sold a (cowritten) novel about class rage in the Hamptons. This is unsurprising because, when her annual Hamptons guidebook 'Jodi's Shortcuts' was first published in 1999, a typical old-monied response was, "That's the sort of thing that people of her background and breeding do to the places they claim to love." In the novel, which will be published by St. Martin's, "the heroine starts a new restaurant in the Hamptons and encounters the ever-present struggle for status, which cause problems when the owner of an upscale food shop in East Hampton decides to sabotage all of her hard work."
