A Good Neighbourhood

Reviews / Votes

'Therese Anne Fowler has taken the ingredients of racism, justice, and conservative religion and has concocted a feast of a read: compelling, heart-breaking, and inevitable. I finished A Good Neighbourhood in a single sitting. Yes, it's that good.' * Jodi Picoult * A Good Neighbourhood is my favourite kind of novel - compelling, complicated, timely, and smart. With great humanity, Therese Anne Fowler imparts a full-hearted, unflinching indictment of a broken system and in so doing tells a story hard to put down and hard to forget. * Laurie Frankel, author of This is How It Always Is * 'Compelling and captivating, A Good Neighbourhood left me speechless yet wanting to discuss. This is a story that will stick with you for a long time.' * Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted * A thought provoking and gripping novel - the kind that will have you savouring every page * CultureFly * A gripping modern morality tale... Familiar elements - two families, two young lovers, a legal dispute - frame a story that feels both classic and inevitable. But Fowler makes the book her own with smart dialogue, compelling characters and a communal "we" narrator that implicates us all in the wrenching conclusion. * Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Romantics * Traversing topics of love, race, and class, this emotionally complex novel speaks to-and may reverberate beyond-our troubled times * Kirkus, starred review * A rippling story for fans of suspenseful domestic dramas * Booklist * 'This page-turner delivers a thoughtful exploration of prejudice, preconceived notions, and what it means to be innocent' * Publishers Weekly * An unforgettable, heart-breaking story * Library Journal, starred review * Prepare for tears and make sure a friend reads it too - you're going to want to talk about this book as soon as you finish it * Good Morning America * Fowler's writing is beautiful, compelling and heartbreaking * Glasgow Herald * It's the kind of book you tell your friends to read immediately, just so you have someone to talk to about it * i paper * There's no doubting this novel's power * Daily Mail * Check out this contemporary fiction novel if you've ever found yourself wondering what it means to be a good neighbour in modern America * Huffington Post * Fowler's novel culminates with injustices that are painfully easy to imagine because they continue to be a part of our contemporary lived experience * The Washington Post * One of the most precise and timely novels of the year * Newsweek * A provocative, absorbing read * People * Fans of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere need to read Therese Anne Fowler's A Good Neighbourhood * PopSugar *
