Sims, Laura
Genre:
In this taut and thrilling debut
an unraveling woman
unhappily childless and recently separated
becomes fixated on her neighbor--the beautiful
famous actress. The unnamed narrator can't help noticing with wry irony that
though she and the actress live just a few doors apart
they are separated by a chasm of professional success and personal fulfillment. When an interaction with the actress at the annual block party takes a disastrous turn
what began as an innocent preoccupation spirals quickly
and lethally
into a frightening and irretrievable madness.
