Summary
The rising tensions between two very different women, next-door neighbors--Amanda, a successful editor for a large New York publisher and pregnant with her first child, and Thea, a stay-at-home mother of three who has never really left her hometown--come to a head when disaster forces Amanda to seek refuge with Thea and dead animals begin appearing as macabre gifts on Thea's doorstep.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Amanda is a successful book editor at a prominent publishing house in New York City. Thea is a stay-at-home mother of three who has never really left the community in which she grew up. Amanda, eight monthsâ pregnant with her first child, and her husband move in next door to Thea and her family, and the two women find themselves both drawn to and repelled by each other and their opposing choices in the constant struggle to balance career and family life.
When a disaster forces Amanda and her family to take refuge in Theaâs home, the underlying tensions simmering between them are forced to the surface-and even more so when Thea fills in as Amandaâs temporary nanny. But once dead animals start appearing on Theaâs front porch-surely a macabre gift from Amanda?-the battle with âthe other motherâ begins in earnest.
With a keen eye for what pulls us apart and what brings us together, Gwendolen Gross has created a stunning, dark, suspenseful novel that is as brave as it is shocking.
