Book Review of The Woman Next Door

The Woman Next Door
reviewed on + 26 more book reviews


Three married couples in suburban Connecticut are challenged and forever changed by the presence of the woman next door... Along with their husbands, Amanda, Karen and Georgia are a close-knot circle of friends enjoying seemingly ideal lives in an upscale neighborhood. But when they learn that their lovely younger neighbor, widowed for a year and presumably still unattached, is pregnant, the strains and imperfections of their lives come into full focus. As they ponder who the father might be, each of the women harbors suspicious about her own husband-and each is forced to a crisis point that will strenghten or shatter her marriage. Good read by Barbara Delinsky.
