With this psychologically explosive account from "one of the most remarkable novelists of her generation" People, the discovery of bones in a tin package transmits shockwaves across a group of long-time friends. Inside the waning weeks of the next World War, a group of children discover an earthen tunnel in their area outside London. Throughout the warmer summer months of 1944 - until one dad forbids it - the subterranean space becomes their "hidden knowledge garden", where in fact the friends play game titles and tell reports. Six generations later, beneath a house on a single land, construction staff uncover a tin package containing two skeletal hands, one man and one female. As the discovery makes national reports, the friends come together once more, to recall their days in the tunnel for the detective looking into the case. Is the fact buried among these increasing age friends and their thoughts? This impromptu reunion triggers long-simmering feelings to bubble to the top. Alan, jammed in a passionless matrimony, commences flirting with Daphne, a attractive widow. Michael considers contacting his estranged dad, who dispatched Michael to live a life with an aunt after his mother vanished in 1944. Lewis commences remembering information regarding his Uncle Adam, an army private who once supported the children in to the tunnels, and who later vanished. In The Female Next Door Rendell brilliantly shatters the assumptions about age group, showing that the choices people make - and the thoughts behind them - continue to be as potent in late life as they were in youth.
