Description

In the tradition of Zoe Hellers What Was She Thinking?Notes on a Scandal, The New Neighbor is a chilling page-turner (People) with simple, elegant language (The New York Times Book Review) about an old womans curiosity turned into a dangerous obsession as she becomes involved in her mysterious new neighbors complicated life.

How much can you really know about the woman next door?

Ninety-year-old Margaret Riley is content hiding from the world. Stoic and independent, she rarely leaves the Tennessee mountaintop where she lives, finding comfort in the mystery novels that keep her companyuntil she spots a woman whos moved into the long-empty house across the pond.

Her neighbor, Jennifer Young, is also looking to hide. On the run from her old life, she and her four-year-old son, Milo, have moved to a quiet town where no one from her past can find her.

In Jennifer, Margaret sees both a potential companion for her loneliness and a mystery to be solved. She thinks if she says the right thing, tells the right story, Jennifer will open up, but Jennifer refuses to talk about herself, her son, his missing father, or her past. Frustrated, Margaret crosses more and more boundaries in pursuit of the truth, threatening to unravel the new life Jennifer has so painstakingly createdand reveal some secrets of her own

From the critically acclaimed author of The History of Us and The Myth of You and Me, The New Neighbor is a promising exploration of the secrets we all carry and our refusal to forgive ourselves (Publishers Weekly).
