In the early seventies, Francis and Brian, a pair of NYPD cops, buy suburban homes next door to each other and begin raise their families there. Francis's wife wants to make friends with the neighbors, but Brian's wife Anne is decidedly unsociable. Even after their kids become best friends growing up, Anne keeps her distance from the family next door, and everyone else.
It's clear all along that there is something wrong with Anne, but the trouble that arises from her mental instability comes as a surprise to everyone.
This is a really good book with great characters.
