***THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***
‘There’s no doubting this novel’s power’ Daily Mail
‘A feast of a read’ Jodi Picoult
_____________________________

Star-crossed love will change two families’ lives forever… Therese Anne Fowler’s New York Times bestselling novel is perfect for fans of Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere and Mary Beth Keane’s Ask Again, Yes.

A forbidden romance is blossoming in the tight-knit community of Oak Knoll.

No one’s realised it yet – they’ve been too busy watching the rich, white Whitman family move into their newly built house. They’ve been watching Brad Whitman, with his new money and apparently traditional values, fight his neighbour over the historic oak tree dividing their properties.

But what they haven’t noticed is that the Whitman girl is falling in love with the biracial boy next door.

It is a love that will shatter the constructs of class and race in this small town.

It is a love that might destroy everything

Reviews

Jodi Picoult
'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.'
Laurie Frankel, author of This is How It Always Is
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.
Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted
'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.'
Tara Conklin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Romantics
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.
