The New Neighbor: A Novel
reviewed on + 78 more book reviews


This book made me want to look for more by this author and there's really no higher praise! A 90 year old nurse and veteran of WWII wants to cultivate a friendship with her new neighbor across the pond, a young single mother with a 4 year old in tow. Each has secrets that she would prefer not to think about (don't we all?) "A promishing exploration of the secrets we all carry and our refusal to forgive ourselves" ~ Publishers Weekly. "Readers who like an unhurried pace, an element of mystery, and plenty of symbolism will be satisfied as Stewart brings her tale to a surprising conclusion." ~ Library Journal.
