Books by therese anne fowler5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() The families come to blows over something seemingly minor (a tree that straddles both their properties). ![]() The story revolves around two families: Valerie Alston-Holt, a Black ecology professor who lives a quiet life with her biracial teenage son Xavier and the Whitman family, the wealthy new neighbors who have moved in next door. And in the case of A Good Neighborhood (which, by the way, is a must-read if you enjoyed any of the above-mentioned books), it’s not where I was but where I wasn’t: I may have faked an illness to avoid a group dinner so that I could instead finish this powerful and timely novel. I distinctly remember sitting in my office devouring Miracle Creek cover to cover the hotel room I holed myself up in while burning through Little Fires Everywhere and the coffee shop where I was captivated by Ask Again, Yes. As someone who happens to read a lot, the sign of a good book for me is whether I can recall the details of where I was when I read it. ![]()
