Praise for Therese Anne Fowler:
"A provocative, absorbing read." --People "Thought-provoking and
fast-paced" --Good Morning America "A story of race, class, region
and, yes, tragic love...the result is Shakesperian." --NPR
"Riveting...Fowler empathetically conjures nuanced characters we
won't soon forget, expertly weaves together their stories, and
imbues the plot with a sense of inevitability and urgency. In the
end, she offers an opportunity for catharsis as well as a
heartfelt, hopeful call to action.Traversing topics of love, race,
and class, this emotionally complex novel speaks to--and may
reverberate beyond--our troubled times." --Kirkus, on A Good
Neighborhood (starred review) "Searing...Fowler skillfully renders
her characters and their experiences into an unforgettable,
heartbreaking story." --Library Journal (starred review) "Fowler's
fascinating plot is skillfully executed, delving into each
character's complexities fully enough that their choices make
perfect sense. This page-turner delivers a thoughtful exploration
of prejudice, preconceived notions, and what it means to be
innocent." -- Publisher's Weekly "A rippling story for fans of
suspenseful domestic dramas" -- Booklist
"It's a timely story about what happens when we fail to consider
how our actions affect others and the tragedy that can befall us if
we can't coexist with those whose values are different from our
own." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Fowler has crafted one of the most precise and timely novels of
the year. The daughter of a local businessman starts dating the
biracial son of a professor in a leafy North Carolina suburb,
boiling toward an inevitable and wrenching conclusion."--Newsweek
"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
"A readable saga nodding toward a bevy of social issues" --
Entertainment Weekly
"For fans of slow-burn mysteries that explore the tenuous, fragile
nature of neighborhoods -- think Big Little Lies or Little Fires
Everywhere -- this book is what you've been waiting for this year."
-- BookBub "Therese Anne Fowler has..concocted a feast of a read:
compelling, heartbreaking, and inevitable. I finished A Good
Neighborhood in a single sitting. Yes, it's that good." --Jodi
Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things
and A Spark of Light "Relentlessly paced, stylishly written, and
perfectly timed, Therese Anne Fowler's latest is a sharp, moving
portrait of an American neighborhood on the brink of change. You'll
be thinking about A Good Neighborhood long after you've left
it."--Christina Baker Kline, New York Times bestselling author of
Orphan Train "Compelling and captivating, A Good Neighborhood 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 provocative, timely
page-turner about the crucial issues of our time. I gulped it down,
and the stunning conclusion left me both heartbroken and hopeful."
--Meg Waite Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Last
Train to London "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 "A Good Neighborhood is my favorite 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, bestselling author
of This is How it Always Is "Nothing short of mesmerizing."
--Kirkus, on A Well-Behaved Woman (starred review)
"Genius....Fowler's exploration of the way powerful women are
simultaneously devalued and rewarded resonates powerfully."
--Publishers Weekly, on A Well-Behaved Woman (starred review)
