Bank Street - Two River Times article
My book, Bank Street, was posted in the Two River Times of Red Bank on January 17, 2020. The text follows:
"Life lessons can be found in classrooms and
clinics, but they can also be unearthed on the streets of cities like Newark and New York. In Peter Cavalier’s debut coming-of-age novel “Bank Street,” the retired banker and historical buff unravels his life in the working world and
the things he experienced during the first three years of his 40-year banking career. Daily train commutes and walking the streets of Newark are interspersed with memories of the disco era, a citywide blackout, a
Yankees World Series and the bicentennial.
“Transforming an idea or story into a novel is quite a process,” said Cavalier, who relished the opportunity to share his stories of his early days working in Newark in the 1970s.
The father of three and grandfather of two tells the story of Jerry Flanagan and his journey after graduating college and falling in love for the first time. The novel celebrates the bonds of friendship that develop among
a group of “baby boomers” who are thrust into the real world for the first time.
One reviewer called it, “a mesmerizing story of love, a tale that features an interesting cast of characters and set against the backdrop of a world undergoing strong social changes.”
Cavalier himself spent 40 years in the banking try, 36 of them at Citibank in New York City, before his retirement in 2016. A graduate of Washington & Lee University, he also has an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He lives with his wife Marjorie in Red Bank. He is working on the sequel covering his experiences during the decades of the 1980s and 1990s.
