One is black, the other white. Both are successful women with impressive careers. Both have recently been widowed, and are living with questions, disappointments, and secrets that have brought them shame. And each has something that the woman next door deeply desires. Sworn enemies, the two share a hedge and a deliberate hostility, which they maintain with a zeal that belies their age. But, one day, an unexpected event forces Hortensia and Marion together. As the physical barriers between them collapse, their bickering gradually softens into conversation, which yields a discovery of shared experiences. But are these sparks of connection enough to ignite a friendship, or is too late to expect these women to change? The U.S. debut of an Etisalat Prize Finalist, The Woman Next Door is a winning story of the common ground we sometimes find in unexpected places, told with wit and wry humor"--cProvided by publisher. 0aNeighborszSouth AfricazCape TownvFiction. 0aWidowszSouth AfricazCape TownvFiction. 7aFICTION / Literary.2bisacsh 7aFICTION / Contemporary Women.2bisacsh 7aFICTION / Cultural Heritage.2bisacsh 0aCape Town (South Africa)xRace relationsvFiction.08iOnline version:aOmotoso, Yewande, author.tWoman next doorbFirst U.S. Edition.dNew York : Picador, 2017z9781250124586w(DLC) 2016045453
