Jackson, a vice president and executive editor at Alfred A. Knopf, was inspired to write a book inspired by the gossip of her Brooklyn Heights neighborhood during lockdown.
Brooklyn Heights is the scene of her debut novel, “Pineapple Street,” out Tuesday, which follows the women of the Stockton family: sisters Darley and Georgina and their brother’s wife, Sasha. The parents of the family decide to let Sasha and Cord, their son, move into their Pineapple Street brownstone, an idea that came from a real-life situation one of Jackson’s friends found herself in.
Jackson got to work in earnest at the end of 2020 and had a first draft done by April 2021. The next year of the process was for editing, and having spent 20 years working with authors, she assumed she’d be thick-skinned when it came to being the one to receive feedback.
