From the outside, Essie’s life looks idyllic: a loving
husband, a beautiful house in a good neighborhood, and a nearby
mother who dotes on her grandchildren. But few of Essie’s
friends know her secret shame: that in a moment of maternal
despair, she once walked away from her newborn, asleep in her
carriage in a park. When a new woman named Isabelle moves in
next door to Essie, she is an immediate object of curiosity in
the neighborhood. Why single, when everyone else is married with
children? Why renting, when everyone else owns? What mysterious
job does she have? And why is she so fascinated with Essie? As
the two women grow closer and Essie’s friends voice their
disapproval, it starts to become clear that Isabelle’s choice of
neighborhood was no accident. And that her presence threatens to
bring shocking secrets to light. The Family Next Door is Sally
Hepworth at her very best: at once a deeply moving portrait of
family drama and a compelling suburban mystery that will keep
you hooked until the very last page.
