On a late-summer evening on Harlow Street, a neighbourhood barbecue exposes a fracture beneath polished façades. When a child falls from his window in the night, his mother keeps vigil at the hospital as neighbors scramble to explain what happened.

Over three fraught days, the narrative shifts between several women—Whitney, whose composure finally cracks; Blair, the people-pleasing friend; Rebecca, an ER doctor wrestling with her own longings; and Mara, the older neighbour who watches from her porch. Through their perspectives the book examines envy, female friendship, desire and the instincts we silence.

Themes

  • Motherhood and rivalry
