๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Martha Hale is an affable wife and mother who lives in an affluent neighborhood of well-tended lawns and high expectations. If only her clumsiness at penetrating the social circles of her neighbors werenโt making Martha so lonely.
Thatโs why sheโs thrilled when the glamorous Minnie Foster, a former high school classmate, moves in next door. Despite Marthaโs determination, picking up where they left off is trickier than anticipated--especially when their memories of the past donโt always align. But Martha is undeterred. In fact, her preoccupation with Minnieโs life, her success, and her marriage is becoming an obsession. When she sees a darkness and shame hiding inside Minnieโs perfectly deceptive home, Martha realizes that not even Minnieโs secrets are what they seem.
Visceral, sharp-witted, and deeply empathetic, A Gracious Neighbor explores the judgments women pass on one another and the ills of a society curated to keep them on the outside looking in.
