THE NEW NEIGHBOR: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 02330015B82113
English Summary/英文概要： In the tradition of Zoe Heller’s What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal, The New Neighbor is a darkly sophisticated novel about an old woman’s curiosity turned into a dangerous obsession as she becomes involved in her new neighbor’s complicated and cloaked life.
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, that is, until she spots a woman who’s moved into the long-empty house across the pond.
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 in her loneliness and a mystery to be solved. 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《新邻居》继承了佐伊•海勒的《她当时在想什么》的传统，是一部复杂的暗黑小说，讲述了一个老妇人的好奇心转变成了危险的痴迷，使她卷入了新邻居复杂而隐蔽的生活中。
90岁的玛格丽特•雷利过着与世无争的生活，古怪而独立的她很少离开所居住的田纳西山顶，她喜欢与悬疑小说作伴。这样的生活一直持续到有一个女人搬入了湖对岸长久以来一直空置的房子里。
珍妮弗•杨也想要躲避一些东西。她想要脱离过去的生活，于是带着她四岁的儿子米勒搬到一个谁也找不到的安静小镇。
在珍妮弗看来，玛格丽特像是一个不错的伙伴，但她自己似乎也有很多的秘密。珍妮弗拒绝谈论她自己，她的儿子，她的丈夫，以及她的过去。玛格丽特感到很沮丧，她开始一次又一次地跨越边界去挖掘真相，她动摇了珍妮弗费尽心思建立起来的新生活，而她这样做也是为了保住自己的秘密。（XAT）

Praise for Leah Stewart: "The New Neighbor " "One of the protagonists of Leah Stewart’s new novel, The New Neighbor," reads mystery novels, and only mystery novels, but she is a snob about them: she only wants to read the best. Well, she would love, love, love The New Neighbor," which is as tense and as tough-minded and as ingeniously structured as our best mystery novels, and our best literary novels, too. A major new book by one of our most psychologically astute writers."--Brock Clarke, author of The Happiest People in the World
