description -
Joy Street is a 1950 novel by Frances Parkinson Keyes. Despite only being released on December 1, 1950, it was ranked as the second best-selling novel in the United States for 1950.[2] Over two million copies were in print by the mid-1950s. It also topped the New York Times Best Seller list for eight weeks in 1951.
 
The novel is set in Boston and explores a married couple facing the elitist expectations and norms of Boston society. Kirkus Reviews described it as a "meticulously caparisoned romantic novel."
