Ground Up
A Literary Fiction Novel by Michael Idov
Subgenres:
- Relationship Fiction,
- New York City,

This book is for you if you're into...
- Café culture dreams colliding with gritty New York reality
- Relationships unraveling under the pressure of an ambitious business venture
- Darkly funny takes on urban reinvention and personal disaster
Light streams through the windows as the espresso machine roars; a gorgeous, rich scent fills the air; and witty conversation unspools over the porcelain cups.. That's the café dream.
Mark and Nina are about to experience the reality. Determined to re-create the perfect Viennese coffeehouse, they descend on New York's gritty but hip Lower East Side to educate the locals on authentic café culture.
Soon Mark and Nina are in a downward spiral that will strip them of money, friends, sex life, status, shelter, and, finally, sanity—and offer salvation through something they have never experienced: disaster..
Inspired by the author's own coffeehouse hell, Ground Up is a sharp and funny portrait of a New York constantly reinventing itself, and a surprisingly tender story of falling out of love and back in it again.
