Summary

On a leafy suburban street in Dublin, beautiful, poised Stella Greene lives with her successful husband, Matt. The perfect couple in every way, Stella appears to have it all. Next door, at number 72 however, lives Rea Brady. Gruff, bad-tempered and rarely seen besides the twitching of her net curtains, rumour has it she’s lost it all…including her marbles if you believe the neighbourhood gossip.

But appearances can be deceiving and when Stella and Rea’s worlds collide they realise they have much in common. Both are trapped in a prison of their own making.

Has help been next door without them realising it?

With the warmth and wit of Maeve Binchy and the secrets and twists of Liane Moriarty, this is the utterly original and compelling new novel from Irish Times bestseller Carmel Harrington.

‘Both heart-wrenching and uplifting. The perfect summer read’ Irish Times Bestseller Fionnuala Kearney

I thought this was going to be another ‘run of the mill’ stories but I was so wrong. This kept my interest all the way through, right until the end. Will look for more by Carmel Harrington. Narrator is superb also, makes it all the more enjoyable.
