ReviewsAfter only a few pages into Leah Stewart's The New Neighbor , the shrewd sharp voice of one of its main characters kept me reading., "Readers who like an unhurried pace, an element of mystery, and plenty of symbolism will be satisfied as Stewart brings her tale to a surprising conclusion."-- Library Journal, "Two women--a snoopy old lady and a young mom with a mysterious past who moves in nearby--discover each other's dark secrets." - Good Housekeeping ("Thrills and Chills"), Stewart's prose is remarkable for its well-shaped sentences and nonshowy but sharp observations. Quietly incisive., "In simple, elegant language, Leah Stewart draws us to a little pond hidden away in the mountains of Tennessee...[and] never relaxes her tight focus on these complex characters."-- New York Times Book Review, Keenly engrossing and multilayered, this mystery and literary-fiction hybrid will elicit rich book-group discussions., "A truly fine absorbing novel; the finest new novel this reader has discovered so far this season. Highly, highly recommended."-- Hudson Valley News, "A quiet standout...[Stewart] choreographs a near-perfect perfect psychological dance here, her Jennifer and Margaret pulsing with life and her storyline, a la 'Rear Window,' keeps us guessing to the end."--Buffalo News "The writing is beautiful, and [Leah Stewart] does an impressive job of giving the reader a sense of place."--Mystery Scene "Stewart deftly writes about the nuances of friendship and motherhood, as well as the past's unpleasant ability to take over the present."--BookPage, "Leah Stewart skillfully captures conversational nuance and family alienation."-- The Charlotte Observer

SynopsisIn the tradition of Zoe Heller's What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal , The New Neighbor is "a chilling page-turner" (People) with "simple, elegant language" ( The New York Times Book Review ) about an old woman's curiosity turned into a dangerous obsession as she becomes involved in her mysterious new neighbor's complicated life. How much can you really know about the woman next door? Ninety-year-old Margaret Riley is content hiding from the world. Stoic and independent, she rarely leaves the Tennessee mountaintop where she lives, finding comfort in the mystery novels that keep her company--until she spots a woman who's moved into the long-empty house across the pond. Her neighbor, Jennifer Young, is also looking to hide. On the run from her old life, she and her four-year-old son, Milo, have moved to a quiet town where no one from her past can find her. In Jennifer, Margaret sees both a potential companion for her loneliness and a mystery to be solved. She thinks if she says the right thing, tells the right story, Jennifer will open up, but Jennifer refuses to talk about herself, her son, his missing father, or her past. Frustrated, Margaret crosses more and more boundaries in pursuit of the truth, threatening to unravel the new life Jennifer has so painstakingly created--and reveal some secrets of her own... From the critically acclaimed author of The History of Us and The Myth of You and Me, The New Neighbor is "a promising exploration of the secrets we all carry and our refusal to forgive ourselves" ( Publishers Weekly ).
