Description
Back-in-print, a novel about a woman who has difficulty facing up to reality.
How well do you know your neighbours? How well do you know yourself? Caroline, thrown back on her own resources when she loses her job, focuses her attention on the street where she lives and becomes involved in the goings-on of the neighbourhood. Before long, she falls in love with her neighbour’s husband and builds a fantasy life around him, believing her feelings are returned.
It takes the threatened safety of a child to make Caroline see her life as it really is and to realise that she is not the only one on the street who has difficulty facing up to reality.
