Sarah Jessica Parker has reportedly purchased the rights to an upcoming novel which has been described as "Sex And The City meets Desperate Housewives".

The actress is understood to be planning a television adaptation of Prospect Park West, which was written by New York Magazine's dating columnist Amy Sohn.

According to the New York Post, the story revolves around four mothers who live in the borough of Brooklyn. An insider at publishing house Simon & Schuster described it as a "mix of sex, parenthood and celebrity".

It is thought that Parker's Pretty Matches production company has optioned the story alongside HBO for a possible half-hour TV series.

A representative for the actress has reportedly commented that she is unaware whether Parker will be starring or simply producing the project.
