"Perfect for addicts of Anxious Housewives and Big Little Lays, with a dash of Solitary White Feminine, this novel will stick with readers for a long period." (Catalogue Journal) The Family Next Door is an audiobook about desperate moms, secrets among neighborhood friends, and things women keep hidden in a suburban dilemma from the author of The Mother's Assurance. Small, perfect towns often hold the deepest secrets. From the exterior, Essie's life appears idyllic: a loving husband, a lovely house in a good area, and a close by mother who dotes on her grandchildren. But few of Essie's friends know her key pity: that in an instant of maternal despair, she once walked from her newborn, asleep in her carriage in a playground. Disaster was averted, and Essie got better, but she still doubts what lurks inside her, even as her daughter ages and she has a second baby. Whenever a new woman known as Isabelle moves in next door to Essie, she actually is an immediate subject of interest in the neighborhood. Why sole, when everybody else is wedded with children? Why renting, when everybody else owns? What secret job does indeed she have? And why is she so captivated by Essie? As both women grow nearer and Essie's friends tone of voice their disapproval, it begins to become clear that Isabelle's selection of area was no incident. And this her presence threatens to bring shocking secrets to light. The Family Next Door is Sally Hepworth at her absolute best: at once a deeply moving portrait of family dilemma and a compelling suburban unknown that will keep listeners hooked before very last phrase.
